Iran says Saudi, Turkish and Pakistani officials to visit Tehran

Observer Online Report

Senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are expected to visit Tehran for talks on regional security, an Iranian official said on Monday, although no date has been announced.

Ali Bagheri Kani, deputy secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Saudi Defence Minister Khalid bin Salman, Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin would attend the meeting with Iran’s security chief, Mohsen Rezaei.

Speaking to state television, Kani described the proposed four-party meeting as a potential step towards lasting regional security. He said the initiative had been discussed during Munir’s visit to Tehran last week.

The announcement comes as conflict continues to affect the Middle East following US and Israeli attacks on Iran in February, launched while Washington and Tehran were negotiating over Iran’s nuclear programme.

A ceasefire in April ended the initial phase of heavy bombardment, but tensions have persisted over control of the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies.

Iran has asserted control over the strait and repeatedly targeted vessels attempting to pass without its authorisation. The United States, meanwhile, has imposed a naval counter-blockade on Iranian ports.

Diplomatic efforts between Tehran and Washington remain stalled, particularly after the collapse of a deal in June that had outlined a path towards a permanent settlement of the conflict.

The fighting has also spread elsewhere in the region, including clashes between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen.
