Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the deputy foreign minister for Arab and African Affairs, toldLebanons al-Manar television that Iran will not allow aSaudi blockade of Yemen.
The Gaza Strip has been under a crippling Israeli siege since 2007. The blockade, which has cut off the Palestinianterritory from the outside world, has led to economic and humanitarian crises in the densely-populated enclave.
The senior diplomat also lashed out at Saudi Arabia for waging a war against theMuslim country of Yemen.
Stressing that Iran strongly supports the Yemeni nation, Amir-Abdollahian also threw the Islamic Republics weight behind an intra-Yemeni dialog aimed at solving the crisis in the Arab country.
Evidence at hand shows that terrorists in Syria, Iraq and Yemen have links to certain intelligence services in the region, Amir-Abdollahian said.
