The Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakkol Karman said it was ironic that Iran would defend the unity of Yemen and Houthi represents its sovereignty.

Karman said in her official page on "Facebook" that “it happened only because you sold yourself and your parties to the treacherous Saudi Arabia, the historical enemy of Yemen.”

Karman said: anyway, we owe Iran a big greeting Iran for its position rejecting the secession and fragmentation of Yemen, our differences with it will not prevent us from saying that this position is good for Iran.”
