روایت خاورمیانه 
In a controversial statement, Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, explicitly declared that Tehran is currently not at war with Saudi Arabia. These remarks were made amid escalating tensions due to recent Houthi attacks on Saudi territory and seem to aim at distancing Iran from the actions of this group.
Emphasis on Houthi Issues
Pezeshkian further clarified that the Houthis "have their own specific issues," which in a way indicates a lack of complete alignment of Iran with the military actions of this group. The Houthis recently claimed to have targeted a military base in Sharurah, Saudi Arabia, using ballistic missiles and drones. In this attack, they aimed to destroy "weapons depots and command centers" that, according to Yahya Saree, the military spokesperson for the Houthis, "act against our nation and people."
Impacts on Regional Relations
These statements by Pezeshkian could have wide-ranging effects on Iran-Saudi relations. While tensions are rising due to the Yemen war and Houthi activities, this positioning could help reduce tensions and create space for diplomacy. It seems that Iran is seeking to maintain its relations with neighboring countries and does not want to be recognized as the main supporter of the Houthis.
Ultimately, Pezeshkian's remarks reflect a shift in Iran's approach to the Yemen crisis and an effort to emphasize its role as a responsible country in the region. While the Houthis continue to pursue their goals, Iran clearly wants to avoid any direct conflict with Saudi Arabia.
