US Secretary of State John Kerry stated that if Iran wants to be part of a constructive resolution to Syria, constructive resolution to Yemen, it can be so.
Iran could play a constructive role in resolving the ongoing conflicts in Yemen and Syria, US Secretary of State John Kerry stated in a joint press conference with Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa on Thursday.
"If Iran wants to be part of a constructive resolution to Syria, constructive resolution to Yemen, it can be so," Kerry said. "I know from our conversation here this morning with Sheikh Khalid that he would welcome, as would other Gulf state members would welcome, Iran to the table if they want to be part of a genuine security arrangement for the region."
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 9,400 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
