In a private meeting with d Abu Dhabi’s crown prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahayan, he called for a political settlement to Yemen's crisis.
US anti-Iran ruling
More signs have appeared to further prove that the wall of mistrust between Iran and the US is still there to stand strong. The US Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that Iran must hand over about $2 billion in frozen assets to survivors and relatives of those killed in attacks blamed on Tehran. At the heart of the case is an attack in 1983 on a US Marine Corps barracks in the Lebanese capital of Beirut. Iran has strongly rejected the US allegation of involvement in the Beirut incident as politics taking the place of justice in US courts.
