The Iranian Foreign Ministry has welcomed Saudi Arabia's halt to its aerial campaign against Yemen, expressing hope that all parties to the conflict would try to resolve the crisis in the impoverish Arab country through diplomatic means, Press TV reported.
"We had previously announced that the crisis in Yemen has no military solution," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said on Tuesday night.
Afkham made the remarks shortly after Riyadh declared the end of Decisive Storm operation against Yemen and announced the beginning of a new phase dubbed Operation Restoring Hope.
