Masoud Pezeshkian expressed solidarity with all those subjected to injustice while dismissing claims of Iranian interference in regional conflicts. The president explicitly denied that Tehran or Yemeni forces were responsible for a recent strike on a Saudi Arabian pipeline, instead asserting that Israel likely conducted the operation to fuel disputes and inflame tensions.

These remarks expand on previous statements from Pezeshkian that events unfolding in Yemen and attacks by Houthi rebels on Saudi territory are not related to the Iranian administration. This is the latest attempt by the Iranian government to distance itself from Houthi militant activity during the ongoing conflict with Saudi forces.
