Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says there is no military solution to the escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Tehran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen after both sides traded attacks.

“We believe that there is no military solution to the issue of Yemen, Bab al-Mandab, and other regional issues,” says Araghchi in an interview published by the state-run Iran Daily newspaper, calling for “dialogue.”
