Today's meeting between Major General Mohsen Rezaei and the Yemen ambassador, one day after the Tehran Quadrilateral Summit, is meaningful in terms of timing.

Rezaei expressed appreciation in this meeting for Yemen's role in defending Gaza and described the objective of the Tehran Summit as shaping endogenous security arrangements.

The message of this meeting, amid speculations about a deal over Yemen, is clear: in any new regional order, Yemen and other members of the resistance axis will not be left behind closed doors. Iran does not leave its friends.
