According to Saudi media outlet Alhadath, the Yemeni Foreign Minister stated, "We condemn Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi's remarks regarding Tehran's so-called 'mediation in Yemen.' These remarks cannot conceal the responsibility of the Iranian regime in supporting the Houthi rebellion. The Iranian regime has prolonged the war and positioned itself as a party to the struggle against the Yemeni people by providing the Houthis with weapons, missiles, and drones. Iran should first cease its intervention and arming in Yemen, rather than offering mediation. Furthermore, the Iranian government should respect the sovereignty of all nations and adhere to international law and the principles of good neighborliness. The Iranian official's remarks about 'mediation' are a provocation to the families of hundreds of thousands of victims of Iranian weapons. Saudi Arabia has consistently supported the Yemeni nation and people, providing economic, aid, and developmental support. The Houthis rejected the roadmap proposed by Saudi Arabia, which aimed to push Yemen back into the political process. Iran is attempting to use Yemen as a bargaining chip."
The Iranian government's dealings with the coup d'état militia do not grant them legitimacy, nor does it mean that the organization has the right to represent Yemen.
