(FNA)- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian underscored the necessity for national talks in Yemen, and renewed Tehran's support for the Arab country in its campaign against terrorism.

"Tehran is seriously committed to fighting terrorism. We support Yemen in its path of campaign against terrorism, completion of the political trend and materialization of sustainable regional security," Amir Abdollahian told FNA on Sunday.

"National talks in Sana'a or any place agreed by the Yemeni groups is emphasized by us," he added.

"Tehran will continue its regional and international consultations to strengthen the political trend in light of cooperation among all Yemeni groups," Amir Abdollahian said.

In relevant remarks on Saturday, Amir Abdollahian announced Iran's readiness to treat those Yemeni people who were severely wounded in the Friday terrorist attacks in Sana'a.

Amir Abdollahian strongly condemned the terrorist attacks in Sana'a, and said Iran was ready for medical treatment of those sustained injuries in the heinous terrorist attacks.

He underlined that a group of professional surgeons along with groups of aid volunteers are ready to be dispatch to Sana'a.

As soon as the Yemeni government accepts Iran's offer, the team will be dispatched to Sana, Amir Abdollahian said, adding that Iran was also ready to admit the injured people to hospitals for medical treatment.

Also on Friday, the Iranian foreign ministry deplored the terrorist attacks in Sana'a which claimed the lives of a large number of Yemeni people.

In a statement on Friday, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham condemned the terrorist attacks in the Yemeni capital, and expressed the hope that people in Yemen would maintain peace and stability in their country by keeping vigilant.

Afkham further extended her condolences to the families of victims, and sympathized with the survivors of the terrorist attack.

She stressed that enemies of the Yemeni nation are trying to gain their evil target of making the country insecure and instable by carrying out such blind terrorism.

Over 150 people were reported as killed and hundreds of others wounded in Sana'a, after attacks on two mosques in the center of the capital during Friday prayers.

The ISIL Takfiri terrorists claimed responsibility for the recent massacre of innocent people in Yemen.
