Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the conflict in Yemen cannot be settled by force, saying there is no military solution to the fighting. His comments focused on the escalating confrontation involving Saudi Arabia and the Tehran-backed Houthi rebels.
Araghchi urged dialogue between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, pointing to talks rather than battlefield escalation as the way forward. The remarks reflect Iran’s public push for a political response as tensions around Yemen continue to rise.
The statement puts renewed attention on the diplomatic track in the Yemen conflict, where military pressure has failed to produce a lasting resolution. By stressing negotiations, Araghchi framed diplomacy as the necessary path to reduce hostilities.
His comments come at a time of heightened concern over the Yemen war and its regional implications. For now, Iran’s message through Araghchi is that any durable outcome will depend on political engagement between the opposing sides.
