Saudi, Turkey, Pakistan Officials Rush to Tehran to Avert US-Israel-Iran War

Senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan traveled to Tehran for urgent talks aimed at preventing a wider conflict between Iran, the US, and Israel as bellicose rhetoric escalates. The high-level delegations met with Iranian security officials and diplomats on Monday, focusing on how Tehran could pressure Yemen's Houthi rebels to halt missile and drone attacks on Saudi infrastructure, including Riyadh airport, which the Houthis claim to have closed. The diplomatic push comes amid fears that continued Houthi strikes could draw Iran into direct confrontation with the US and Israel, risking a regional war. By engaging Iran directly, the three nations hope to leverage their relationships to de-escalate tensions and protect critical economic and security interests. The outcome of these talks could determine whether the region steps back from the brink or slides into broader hostilities.
