Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke with his Saudi
counterpart, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, about escalating regional
tensions and offered to help facilitate dialogue between Riyadh and the
Houthis.
Many in the Saudi ruling establishment would say there is no
need for talks because, according to the Saudi perspective, Iran controls the
Houthis and pulls the strings.
But this has been continuously and repeatedly denied by both
the Houthis and the Iranians. The Houthis believe they have independent
decision-making, and the Iranians also confirm that. But the two sides have
some common interests.
The Iranians have always been saying they have no interest
in continuous escalation, and they believe the Saudis and Houthis are better
off negotiating and establishing peace instead of continuing to fight.
