U.S. to discuss Yemen dispute with Iran on Monday, Kerry says

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The top diplomats from the United States and Iran will discuss the conflict in Yemen on Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said, as he urged "everybody do their part" to reduce violence and encourage negotiations. "Yemen's future should be decided by Yemenis ... not by external parties and proxies," Kerry said, adding he expected the conflict to come up in his talks later in the day with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
