Iran has not received a response from Saudi Arabia or Yemen's Houthis to its offer to help broker talks to end the fighting between them, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a television interview aired on Tuesday.
The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted and destroyed four drones targeting Saudi Arabia’s Medina and eastern regions.
Yemen’s central bank ordered banks and exchange companies Tuesday to freeze the accounts and assets of 135 Houthi-linked individuals, entities and vessels placed on terrorism lists, the government-run SABA news agency reported.
The Aden-based bank issued the directive under a 19 October order by the country’s public prosecutor to designate those listed and freeze their assets over their alleged ties to the Houthi group.
The measures also ban financial and commercial dealings with those listed, including opening new bank accounts or carrying out transactions on their behalf.
Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed ways to strengthen economic, investment and defence cooperation Tuesday as part of broader efforts to deepen the strategic partnership between their two countries.
The talks took place at Lusail Palace in Doha, according to a statement from the Amiri Diwan, the office of the emir.
The two leaders reviewed bilateral relations and ways to expand cooperation in security, defence and other key sectors while also discussing regional developments.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi offered to help facilitate dialogue as the Iran-aligned Houthis intensified strikes on Saudi Arabia earlier this month.
In the interview with Iraq's Al Ekhbariya TV, Araghchi also responded to the possibility of Egypt joining Saudi Arabia in the war against the Houthis.
Egypt has said it is ready to provide Saudi Arabia with the support it needs to defend its security, potentially raising the stakes in the Middle East.
A vote in the Egyptian parliament on a possible move against the Houthi fighters by the country's military, one of the Arab world's largest, was delayed until 26 October.
