He claimed that the Iranian-backed terrorist group organised tens of thousands of youngsters in regions under its control and instilled hatred, violence, and terror in them.

Eryani said that this sectarian discourse was introduced from Tehran.

This will pose “dangers to the social fabric, civil peace and the values of coexistence between Yemenis.”
