Iran ready to resume talks with Saudi Arabia: Official
On Monday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Saeed Khatibzadeh, announced that Iran is prepared to resume talks with Saudi Arabia to solve differences.
“We are ready for the continuation of talks and the settlement of differences. We have submitted our views in written form to the Saudi side, and they should express their views,” Mr Khatibzadeh said in his weekly press briefing.
Repeating Iran’s welcome of a cease-fire in Yemen, he said this “should be completed with the beginning of intra-Yemeni dialogue and we should wait for the results.”
Following the UN-backed two-month truce in Yemen, Mr Khatibzadeh expressed hope that the peace initiative could be a prelude to completely lifting the siege on the Yemeni people.
Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi militia seized control of several northern provinces and forced the Saudi-backed government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of the capital Sanaa.
According to the United Nations, the war has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced four million, and pushed the country to starvation.
