Iran Offers to Facilitate Dialogue Between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, FM Says

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan held a telephone conversation on Sunday night, October 11, to discuss the latest regional developments. During the call, Araghchi expressed concern over the escalation of tensions in the region and stressed that insisting on a military approach while ignoring a political solution would only complicate the current situation.

Araghchi reiterated Iran's position that there is no military solution to the crises in the region. He stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to provide any assistance to help initiate dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Yemen and to support efforts toward a political solution.

The phone call comes amid ongoing regional tensions and international efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Yemen. Iran has previously expressed support for political dialogue to end the war, which has been ongoing since 2014.

According to Mehr News, the conversation between the two top diplomats focused on the current developments in the region and the need for diplomatic engagement. The report did not provide further details on the specifics of the discussion or any follow-up actions planned.
