In 1990 and 1994, Tehran placed its support behind North Yemen, rendering a signed cultural pact on July 5, 1995, with Yemen\u2019s unified government. This agreement served as a platform for the mullahs to expand their influence and fundamentalist measures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/iran-news\/iranian-regimes-meddling-in-yemen-and-support-for-the-houthis\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">MP Accuses Former Negotiating Team Members as Western Spies<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"0TL5gaIXB1YE\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-255923 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/0TL5gaIXB1YE-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"0TL5gaIXB1YE\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/0TL5gaIXB1YE-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/0TL5gaIXB1YE-150x76.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/0TL5gaIXB1YE.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A member of the Iranian regime&#8217;s parliament accused three members of the previous Iranian team in the nuclear talks as &#8216;Western spies&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to the state-run <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/donya-e-eqtesad.com\/%D8%A8%D8%AE%D8%B4-%D8%B3%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%AA-%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%86-62\/3843587-%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%A7%DB%8C-%DB%8C%DA%A9-%D9%86%D9%85%D8%A7%DB%8C%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87-%D8%B3%D9%87-%D9%86%D9%81%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%AA%DB%8C%D9%85-%D9%85%D8%B0%D8%A7%DA%A9%D8%B1%D9%87-%DA%A9%D9%86%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87-%D9%82%D8%A8%D9%84%DB%8C-%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%B3-%D8%BA%D8%B1%D8%A8%DB%8C-%D9%87%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D9%88%D8%AF%D9%86%D8%AF-%D8%B8%D8%B1%DB%8C%D9%81-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%A2%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B4%D8%AA\" rel=\"noopener\">newspaper Donyaye Eghtesad<\/a>, Mohsen Zanganeh said: &#8220;There were weak elements in the previous negotiating team.
