Story summary
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called Saudi Foreign Affairs Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud after Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, attacked Riyadh airport, killing 12 people and injuring 300 others. Araghchi emphasized in a Telegram post that military solutions would only complicate the situation further and urged for diplomatic negotiations to resolve regional crises. He stated that Iran is ready to assist in initiating dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The attack led US President Donald Trump to reconsider Washington's role in Yemen, including potential resumed strikes on Iran, though he initially said no action would be taken until after the US midterm elections.
