Iran on Houthis and Saudi tensions
The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ismail Bagheri, commented on the recent escalation in Yemen, reaffirming that the only solution to the crisis is to return to dialogue and implement the agreed-upon roadmap. He pointed out that the blockade imposed on Yemen and the increasing restrictions on the entry of goods and services exacerbate the humanitarian crisis and deepen the suffering of the Yemeni people. He called for a complete lifting of these restrictions to facilitate the delivery of basic needs to the Yemeni citizens. The statements come amid rising tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, as Saudi forces carried out military retaliatory operations against Houthi targets in Hodeidah, and the Houthis imposed a blockade on Saudi ship movements and threatened to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, leading to a spike in oil prices.
