Sputnik - Ceasefire, humanitarian aid and constructive dialogue with regard to the conflict in Yemen could be the basis for collaboration between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Iran�s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City.





WASHINGTON (Sputnik)�� Zarif reiterated that Iran is prepared to�engage with�all partners in�the region to�mitigate military conflicts in�Yemen and Syria.
"Ceasefire, humanitarian assistance, intra-Yemeni dialogue�� this can be the basis for�cooperative assistance between�Saudi Arabia and Iran," Zarif stated on�Monday evening.


At the same time, the presence of�foreign forces in�the region are "inherently destabilizing," Zarif said, adding that efforts at�stabilization should originate from�within the neighboring countries.


Foreign affairs analyst and political commentator Dan Lazare told Sputnik on�Tuesday that the recent liberation of�the city of�Mosul would not lead to�rapid peace and stability in�the region, but�would open the way to�a potentially very serious clash between�Syria and Iran against�the Saudis and their allies instead.
