🇾🇪🇸🇦 Iran: Why is our cooperation with Ansarallah called “intervention,” but Saudi Arabia’s is not?
Iran’s Security Council Secretary Rezaei questioned accusations of Iranian interference in Yemen, pointing to Saudi Arabia’s own support for armed groups in the country:
“Is Saudi Arabia itself not connected to some groups in Yemen? Does it not supply them with weapons? Is that not intervention?
Our cooperation with Ansarallah becomes intervention, but what Saudi Arabia does is not intervention?”
Rezaei said Tehran wants the conflict brought to an end and called on Riyadh to establish relations with the government in Sanaa:
“Saudi Arabia should move toward it, and the two countries should become friends and brothers and work together. Whatever we can do, we are at their service.”
