audi Arabia’s Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, met with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araqchi, during the latter’s visit to Riyadh. The two diplomats discussed the latest developments in the region, focusing on enhancing cooperation and addressing key regional issues.
According to information from Iran’s state-run ISNA news agency, Araqchi’s visit to Saudi Arabia is part of a broader regional tour that includes other neighboring countries. The discussions center on regional challenges, particularly efforts to stop Israeli actions in Gaza and Lebanon, as reported by the agency.
In a statement on his “X” account, Araqchi emphasized Iran’s determination to strengthen its relations with neighboring countries to ensure regional stability and security, while also boosting economic cooperation for the benefit of all.
The timing of Araqchi’s visit coincides with heightened tensions in Gaza and Lebanon. Analysts believe that Tehran is exploring diplomatic avenues to de-escalate the situation, especially amid persistent Israeli threats to target Iran’s nuclear facilities. Araqchi’s efforts may signal Iran’s desire to avoid a full-scale military confrontation while navigating through a period of regional instability.
