Yemen summoned the Iranian ambassador to protest against Iran's support for the Houthi rebels in the north. Yemen's Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi told the Iranian envoy that if Iran continues to back the rebels in Saada this may force Yemen to take "serious diplomatic decisions" over the Yemeni-Iranian ties.
He also complained about the Iranian media coverage of the conflict.
