Saudi Arabia's top diplomat held phone conversations with his Iranian counterpart and officials from Qatar and Jordan on Sunday, reaffirming Riyadh's commitment to regional security and stability in a way that serves the shared interests of all countries in the region.
Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan spoke with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The two reviewed the latest regional developments and discussed diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions.
In separate calls, Prince Faisal spoke with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi. They discussed regional developments and stressed the importance of supporting diplomatic efforts and coordinating positions to de-escalate tensions and counter any threats to regional security.

The diplomatic push comes amid concerns in Saudi Arabia that any major attack on Iran could have serious consequences for the Gulf region.
