Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey send senior officials to Iran for regional security talks Senior officials from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey traveled to Iran on Monday (26) for talks on regional security, according to reports. Wahid Ahmed, former Pakistani ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Syria, stated that one of the goals of the visit is to dissuade the Iranians from attacking Saudi Arabia in the event of tensions between Tehran and the US. Ahmed noted that the visiting countries also intend to intervene with Iran to influence the Houthis to end the conflict with Saudi Arabia. He added that when contacting the Iranian authorities, the possibility of resuming dialogue with the United States is always discussed. "Iran will be part of the [Mecca joint defense] agreement once the region reshapes its political and security contours, following US repositioning. Then we would see a cooperative approach to regional security, with an overarching principle of security for all and without threats. ".
