Director of Media Affairs at the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Osama Ahmed Nugali, refuted the statements of Hossein Amir Abdollahian, Senior Advisor to the Iranian Parliament Speaker, that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requested Iranian mediation with Al-Houthis in Yemen.

He was quoted by Saudi Press Agency, SPA, as confirming that these claims, carried by Iranian News Agency (IRNA), are outright baseless and unfounded.
