Iran says Saudi Arabia, Houthis have not answered mediation offer
Iran says Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthis have not responded to its offer to broker peace talks, as Tehran warns that Egyptian intervention could further escalate the conflict.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthis have not responded to Iran's offer to mediate talks to cease the ongoing conflict. The offer was made as the Houthis ramped up attacks on Saudi Arabia earlier this month. During an interview with Iraq's Al Ekhbariya TV, Araghchi also addressed the potential involvement of Egypt in the war against the Houthis.
He stated that any foreign intervention would only make the situation more complicated, noting that Cairo has previously informed Tehran that it would not directly interfere in the Yemeni conflict. Egypt has offered to provide the necessary support to Saudi Arabia for defending its security, which could escalate the situation in the Middle East.
An Egyptian parliamentary vote on a possible move against the Houthi fighters, led by one of the Arab world's largest armies, was postponed until October 26.
