MNA � A member of Parliament�s national security commission said while Pakistan�s efforts to mediate between Iran and Saudi Arabia are welcome, the issues between the two sides will not be resolved through mediation.

�We welcome Pakistan�s efforts to resolve the issues between Iran and Saudi Arabia; however, such efforts will not solve the problem. The actual solution to issues between Iran and Saudi Arabia must be found in Riyadh itself and its policies in the region,� Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee told Mehr correspondent on Wednesday.

�Iran�s policy is based on maintaining good relations with all of its neighbors. As such, the current issues between Iran and Saudi Arabia are not Iran�s fault,� he added.

Saudi Arabia took on a wrong path by attacking Yemen, said the MP, adding �after five years since the Saudi-UAE aggression against Yemen, it now seems the coalition is stuck in a quagmire, and it is looking for a way out that would allow it to save face.�

�The Islamic Republic is eager for an end to the Yemeni crisis as soon as possible,� Boroujerdi said. �If our efforts can help bring the crisis to an end, we will definitely do our best to make it happen.�
