Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says the recent uptick in military moves in the region can worsen the situation and destroy the path to peace.

The Qatari foreign minister, for his part, expressed concern about the escalation of new tensions in the region, saying, “We believe that there is no military solution to the Yemeni crisis. They must reach a solution through dialogue and that the current situation does not serve the interests of either side.”
