Iran believes “security in the Gulf and the Sea of Oman must be ensured through cooperation among littoral states and without the interference of foreign powers”, the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry also said that Iran “categorically rejects” claims that it interferes in Yemeni affairs. The Iranian statement pointed to “the insistence of certain Arab League member states on making baseless accusations against Iran rather than focusing on supporting the Palestinian people and confronting the Zionist regime”.
The hostilities in Yemen resurfaced earlier in September when the Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, launched a large-scale offensive against government forces, reports AL Jazeera.
