In an interview aired on Al Jazeera on Sept. 26, Iranian president PEZESHKIAN said regional states can safeguard their own security, denied Iran's direct involvement in Yemen—saying the situation is "unrelated to Iran" and that Tehran only sympathizes with the oppressed—and said Iran is ready to help resolve the conflict, urging the Houthi movement and Saudi Arabia to enter talks rather than escalate.
