Iran’s Foreign Ministry described a call from Riyadh for talks with Tehran as a “positive signal”, saying the Islamic Republic welcomes any initiative for unconditional resolution of regional issues, APA reports citing Tasnim News Agency.
Speaking at a weekly press conference in Tehran on Monday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi said Iran deems the comments by Saudi officials about negotiation with Iran as a “positive signal”.
“Iran has repeatedly called for the settlement of problems among Islamic countries without preconditions, and warmly welcomes any measure that would result in the proximity of Islamic countries. It is in Muslim nations’ best interests to settle differences with neighbors, as it would prevent the illegitimate states from misusing the current situation. Iran’s response to any positive signal will be a positive one,” Mousavi added.
He further hailed the United Arab Emirates’ decision to pull its forces out of Yemen as a good step in reducing tensions, saying it would contribute to de-escalation in Yemen, a hotbed of regional tensions.
