Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin possible syndication

Iran and Mecca Pact nations held security talks in Tehran to prevent regional escalation, with officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey meeting Iranian leaders. The meeting followed warnings from the US, Iran, and Israel about potential renewed conflict in the Middle East.

Senior officials, including Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, Pakistan's army chief General Asim Munir, and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin, met with Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei. The talks focused on preventing foreign intervention and emphasizing the Israeli occupation of territories.

The talks came as regional tensions rise ahead of Israel's elections and US midterms, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urging action to avoid further escalation. The meeting was seen as a critical step in de-escalating tensions and preventing a potential military clash.

Diplomats and analysts view the meeting as a significant step in regional diplomacy, with some suggesting it may be the last chance to prevent a spiral of conflict before major political events.
