Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed support on Saturday for a political process aimed at resolving the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthis. The Houthis have launched numerous attacks on Saudi targets, including energy facilities and the kingdom's international airport, resulting in the death of 13 individuals last week.
Speaking at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Baghdad, Araghchi emphasized that Tehran believes an inclusive and comprehensive political process is the most practical and sustainable approach to resolving the issue. Iran has previously offered to mediate between the warring parties, but Saudi Arabia has not yet responded to this overture.
On Friday, Iran refuted allegations that it was involved in the Houthi attacks, following Saudi accusations that Tehran had encouraged the group's escalation. In his address, Araghchi also warned that either cooperation for security or enduring insecurity would be the outcome, stating that Tehran is ready to cooperate with all its neighbors to achieve the former goal.
