Iran hosts a quadrilateral meeting in Tehran with Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan on regional tensions The meeting was held under the name of the Tehran meeting, outside the framework of the Mecca Agreement, and covered Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, the security of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. The participants discussed reducing regional tensions and ending the war, while Iran's position towards the United States and its seven conditions did not change, according to Mustafa Najafi. There were no discussions on the Iranian nuclear issue, and Najafi said one possible outcome was acceptance of Iranian security concerns. Journalist Patrik Henningsen called the gathering a strong message that places Iran among the major powers facing the United States and Israel.
