Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said that Tehran's protest over the incident was conveyed to the Saudi envoy.

He said the ambassador was also reminded of the obligations (of Saudi Arabia and its allies) to protect diplomats and diplomatic premises in Yemen.

Amir Abdollahian noted that a rocket hit an area in the vicinity of Iran's embassy in Sana'a on Monday morning, adding that the blast shattered the embassy’s windows but neither the ambassador nor any other member of Iran's diplomatic mission was hurt .

He further underlined that Iran's embassy in Sana'a will continue its activities, adding that in case there is any incident that hampers the embassy's activities, Saudi Arabia, as the invader, will be held responsible.

On March 26, Saudi Arabia and its allies unleashed deadly air raids against Yemen in an attempt to restore power to fugitive Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

The air strikes have killed some 2,600 people, including women and children, and injured many more.

Tehran has frequently called for an end to the aggression, stressing that the Yemeni crisis can be settled only through political means.

In line with this approach, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a letter to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon on April 17 put forward Tehran's four-point proposal to restore peace to Yemen.

The plan includes intra-Yemeni dialogue, humanitarian aid, immediate ceasefire, and the formation of an inclusive government in the Arabian Peninsula country.
