Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, said on Monday November 4 that it is necessary to prevent any escalation of tensions in the Middle East. These statements were made while the top officials of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are supposed to meet and discuss in Tehran. According to the AFP news agency, Guterres said at a press conference in Cairo, in response to a question about the possibility of reaching an agreement with Iran and an increase in American threats, "a large-scale military attack on Iran and a military attack by Iran on the countries of the Persian Gulf must be prevented at all costs." The UN Secretary General emphasized the need to prevent further escalation of tensions in the region. Prince Khaled bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's defense minister, Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan's army chief, and Ibrahim Kalin, head of the Turkish Intelligence and Security Organization, are scheduled to meet Monday with senior security officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Tehran. Ali Bagri Keni, deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said Monday morning that this meeting could be the basis for shaping the provision of "endogenous security in the region."
