Senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan met with Iran on Monday to prevent the Middle East war from flaring up again, with Tehran saying the talks were “very good”. Officials from the three countries of the Makkah accord headed to Iran in an effort to “de-escalate between the parties to the current crisis”, a Saudi foreign ministry statement stated.
The meetings, involving heavyweight Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, came after warnings by the United States, Iran and Israel that hostilities could resume in the eight-month battle. It was the first joint visit to Tehran by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey since they forged a defence partnership in August in Makkah, the holy city in western Saudi Arabia.
The teams met with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Iranian state television said the conference wrapped off without any specific statements, with the main participants declaring they “agreed to continue discussions.”
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei, chief of Defence Forces of Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir, Saudi Arabia’s Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin in Tehran, Iran, Monday. Iran’s security head Mohsen Rezaei described the talks in the capital Tehran as “very good”, state television claimed.
