Al-Mashat affirmed that Yemeni actions are targeting the oppressive Zionist regime, according to Jamshidi.
The two also discussed Yemen's relations with Saudi Arabia, he added.
According to the website of the Iranian Presidency, Raisi called the Israeli occupation a "genocidal regime" that has committed crimes against tens of thousands of oppressed Palestinian civilians, including women and children, and this has been condemned by many nations around the world.
The Iranian President also condemned the US role in attacking the Yemeni people, calling its actions a revelation of its true aggressive nature and accused it of violating human rights.
The leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, earlier warned that "any American aggression against Yemen will not go unanswered," emphasizing that Sanaa is "ready for any confrontation with Washington."
He ensured that such actions undertaken by the US will be condemned by the "freedom-seeking nations in the world."
Raisi reiterated that unwavering support for Palestine is the official stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran and emphasized that the oppression of the Israeli occupation will end with the victory of the Palestinian people.
On his end, al-Mashat confirmed that Yemen would remain steadfast in its confrontations against the Israeli occupation in support of the people in Gaza, expressing hope that the Muslim world will continue to shed light on the ongoing atrocities and war crimes committed by the "Zionists and their backers."
Raisi urges ICJ to make responsible decision regarding Gaza
Speaking at the Al-Aqsa Flood and Awakening of Human Conscience conference on Sunday, held by the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, Raisi said the Palestinian cause evolved into the most prominent humanitarian issue today and remains a top priority within the collective consciousness of both people and governments.
He added that "the Palestinian people have been resilient and steadfast against the Zionist occupation from the beginning," affirming that "the end of the Zionist entity is inevitable."
Raisi highlighted the ineffectiveness of normalization and peace talks, such as "Camp David, Sharm El Sheikh, and Oslo." He emphasized that the underlying issue at hand is global hegemony, stating that hegemony cannot be relied upon due to its failure to uphold commitments.
The Iranian President reaffirmed his country's dedication to "sustaining support for the people of Gaza and the Resistance factions that have advanced their military capabilities, employing sophisticated missiles and drones."
