Saudi leaders sent messages to Iran's president: Spokesman
Tehran (KNA) - The spokesman for Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's administration has confirmed that Saudi leaders have been sending messages to Iran's president through a head of state, though refraining to give any details on the nature of those messages.
Ali Rabiei made the remarks during his weekly press briefing in Tehran on Monday, when he was asked about reports denoting that the Saudi leadership has been sending messages to Iran's chief executive.
"Yes, this is true that they have sent messages to Mr. Rouhani through a head of state," Rabiei noted, adding, "We must see signs of it [Saudi's goodwill] without any ambiguity, and the first sign of it is to stop the aggression against Yemen and put an end to the massacre of Yemenis."
The Iranian official said Yemen's retaliatory attacks on Saudi Arabia proved the "military might" of Yemeni forces, adding that Riyadh had earlier denied their power to do this, but Yemen's attacks on Saudi oil giant Aramco's refining facilities proved their might.
Reiterating that Iran would welcome a "genuine" change in Saudis' behavior, Rabiei noted, "If they genuinely sought to change their behavior, we would welcome that."
