Iran has extended an offer to mediate in the escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi group, urging Riyadh to forgo a military approach and instead pursue a political resolution. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made the proposal during a phone conversation with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Sunday, according to reports from Saudi state news and Iranian outlets.
Araghchi cautioned that an exclusive reliance on military action would only exacerbate the situation, emphasizing that the region's crises lack a military solution. He further stated that Iran stands ready to assist in facilitating dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, aiming to achieve a political settlement.
