Iran calls for dialogue in Yemen and offers to mediate and initiate talks with the Houthis to Saudi Arabia.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has proposed acting as a mediator between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi movement to resolve the ongoing conflict in Yemen. During discussions with his Saudi counterpart, Faisal bin Farhan al Saud, Araqchi emphasized that there is no military solution to the regional crises and advocated for direct dialogue to address the situation in Yemen.

This diplomatic overture follows a period of heightened regional tensions characterized by recurring attacks on Saudi infrastructure. Reports indicate that Houthi forces, which receive backing from Iran, have recently targeted the Riyadh airport with missiles, resulting in significant damage to domestic flight terminals. These incidents have underscored the volatility of the conflict and the security challenges facing Saudi Arabia.
