Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani urged the regime of Saudi Arabia on Sunday to put an end to the bloodshed in Yemen.
During the parliament (Majlis) public regular session, Larijani said that Saudi government will not reach its worthless intentions by invading Yemen, stressing that Saudi airstrikes will only sabotage Saudi position among Muslims.
He referred to Iran's four-point proposal for resolution of Yemen crisis and said that the Yemen political crisis can be resolved through national dialogue.
Referring to the US congress efforts to observe Iran- G5+1 negotiations, Larijani said that such efforts will damage US reputation and will complicate the future talks.
"Tehran will continue the talks based on new conditions and Iranian negotiators would be ready for any scenario," he underlined.
The Iranian official said that the Islamic Republic waits to see what will be the final result of internal discussions in the US and then will take the reciprocal decisions.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for more than three weeks in a bid to restore power to fugitive President Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has killed and injured hundreds of Yemeni women and children.
Hadi toppled the National Partnership Agreement in Fall 2014 and stepped down in January 2015. He refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by political parties in the country, including Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
A coalition of 10 countries, led by the Saudi Arabia and supported financially and militarily by the United States, launched a wide military offensive on Yemen, killing 20 civilians in one attack, wounding hundreds and causing so much destruction across the state.
Media outlets reported that Saudi Arabia has deployed "100 fighter jets, 150,000 soldiers and other navy units" for the military campaign against Yemen. It also sent 5000 takfiri terrorists to fight against the Yemeni army.
The national military - supported by the Popular Committees - has launched a wide-scale campaign in the attack-hit areas, and managed to drive al-Qaeda and ISIL terrorists out of main neighborhoods of Aden and Sanaa.
US President Barack Obama authorized the provision of logistical and intelligence support to the military operations, National Security Council spokesperson Bernadette Meehan said late on March 25.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is known for training and funding takfiri groups and sending them to the conflict-hit zones in the Arab and Muslim world, including Syria, Afghanistan and now in Yemen.
