Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said there is no military solution to the escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels in Yemen after both sides traded attacks, AFP reports.
“We believe that there is no military solution to the issue of Yemen, Bab al-Mandab, and other regional issues,” said Araghchi in an interview published today by the state-run Iran Daily newspaper, calling for “dialogue”.
He said the situation in Yemen “cannot be attributed to Iran” and that the incidents occurring in the area of the Bab al-Mandab Strait were “rooted in old disputes and issues between Yemen, Saudi Arabia and the countries of the region”.
