Senior Iranian MP: Iran Not to Allow Inspection by anyone of Aid Ship to Yemen. (Fars).

A senior Iranian lawmaker underlined that no other country is allowed to inspect Iran's aid cargo ship heading towards Yemen.

"We send Iran's relief aid ship to Yemen and will not allow any foreign power to inspect or stop it," Rapporteur of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Seyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini said, addressing a pre-sermon speech at Tehran's Friday Prayers today.

He, meantime, rejected the allegations that Iran interferes in Yemen's internal affairs, and said, "The enemies know that if we had intended to interfere in Yemen the Al Saud regime would have vanished in the first week" (of their aggression against Yemen).

On Wednesday, a senior Iranian health official announced that the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) sent a ship loaded with pharmaceuticals and medical equipment to Yemen.

"A ship carrying a 12-member medical team from Iran as well as over 100 tons of the country's aid comprising medicine and medical equipment was dispatched to Yemen on Wednesday morning," IRCS Deputy Managing Director Seyed Reza Rais Karami told reporters.

The IRCS has been trying to dispatch humanitarian aid to Yemen through sea and air, but has so far been unable to do so due to Saudi Arabia's blockade of the war-ravaged country.

On Monday, an Iranian ship the 'Iran Shahed' carrying humanitarian aid supplies, relief workers and peace activists from several countries left the Southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas for Yemen.

"We are a group of relief workers, physicians and peace activists from the US, Europe and Germany. We are a part of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Red Crescent Society. We are trying to bring medical stuff, flour and water for the Yemeni people," a statement issued by 7 anti-war activists aboard the ship said.
