Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen cannot be attributed to Iran. In a recent address, Araghchi rejected claims of Iranian involvement, asserting that the regional instability is not a result of Tehran's actions.
The Foreign Minister further characterized the escalating tensions in the Bab al-Mandeb strait as being rooted in long-standing disputes and historical issues between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. By attributing the volatility to these pre-existing bilateral grievances, Iran has formally distanced itself from the maritime security concerns currently affecting the region.
