Résumé détaillé

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stressed that "no one should interfere in Yemen’s internal affairs, and Yemenis must resolve their differences themselves"

DOHA, November 11. /TASS/. Tehran is ready to help resolve the conflict between Riyadh and Yemen’s rebel Ansar Allah movement - the Houthis - if asked to do so, said Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran’s unicameral parliament, the Majlis.

"We are ready to help Saudi Arabia and Ansar Allah resolve their differences if they ask us to," he said in an interview with Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera. Ghalibaf stressed that "no one should interfere in Yemen’s internal affairs, and Yemenis must resolve their differences themselves."

The Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces have been fighting in Yemen since August 2014. In July 2026, the rebels announced a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia and subsequently attacked several of the kingdom’s oil tankers. Ansar Allah launched an offensive in southwestern Yemen in early August and took control of the port city of Mokha and areas near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on September 10-11. On October 4, Yemeni government forces announced the launch of a major military operation to retake rebel-held territory.
