Iran called for regional dialogue to resolve crises in Yemen and Syria, as it sought to ease concerns over its foreign policy after last month’s nuclear deal.

In an opinion piece in Lebanon’s Assafir newspaper, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote that cooperation on Yemen would be a good start for serious talks in the region. He proposed that all Muslim countries be involved in talks to end the conflicts there and in Syria, under United Nations supervision.
