Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir has denied a statement made by an Iranian government spokesman that Saudi Arabia sent messages to its president through other countries. "What the Iranian speaker said about the Kingdom sending messages to the Iranian regime is not accurate," Jubeir said on Twitter late on Tuesday. "What happened was that sister countries sought to calm the situation, and we told them that the position of the Kingdom was to always seek security and stability in the region." "We also told them that de-escalation should come from the party that is escalating and spreading chaos through hostile acts in the region.” "We conveyed to them our position towards the Iranian regime that we always announce clearly in all venues, most recently at the United Nations General Assembly," he said. On the spokesman’s comments about calm in Yemen, Jubeir stressed that Saudi Arabia “hasn’t and will not discuss about Yemen with the Iranian regime.” He also blamed Yemen's crisis on Iran’s destabilizing role.
