Iran’s foreign ministry says it is ready to help restart dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthi forces, urging Riyadh to pursue diplomacy. In comments cited by Premium Times, Iran says it is prepared to provide support to initiate talks.

The New York Times reports that Iran offers to mediate between its Houthi allies and Saudi Arabia, framing the proposal in response to Saudi concerns over escalating and increasingly deadly attacks. Al Jazeera similarly says the Iranian foreign minister makes the case for diplomacy in a phone call with his Saudi counterpart, offering to facilitate discussions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis after strikes that hit the kingdom.

Across the outlets, the core point is Iran’s stated willingness to assist talks, while the immediate context is Saudi Arabia’s ongoing confrontation with Houthi attacks and the prospect of renewed negotiations facilitated by Tehran.
