Director of Media Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Osama Ahmed Nugali, refuted the statements of Hossein Amir Abdollahian, Senior Advisor to the Iranian Parliament Speaker, carried by Iranian News Agency (IRNA) that his country requested Iranian mediation with Al-Houthis in Yemen.

He further confirms that these claims are outright baseless and unfounded.

Saudi Arabia severed all ties with Iran in 2015 as a result of rifts between them.
