Riyadh: Iran’s Foreign Minister has had conversations with the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia two weeks after a high fire between the regional rivals Iran and Israel began.
The heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman said that his country expected the truce to contribute to regional stability, and emphasized Riad’s position “by supporting dialogue through diplomatic media as a path to solve disputes,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi in an early X position on Wednesday X.
According to the Saudi Ministry, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, “expressed his gratitude” to Riad for his conviction for Israel’s attacks against Iran last month.
Israel launched its unprecedented bombing campaign in Iran on June 13, aimed at military and nuclear facilities, as well as in residential areas.
Israeli attacks killed more than 1,000 people, including nuclear military commanders, according to Tehran.
Israel, in turn, was beaten by waves of drones and missile fire of Iran, that the Israeli authorities said they left at least 28 dead people.
The United States, who had been in conversations with Iran about its nuclear program since April, carried out its own attacks in Iran on June 22, pointing to several nuclear sites.
Since then, the conversations between Tehran and Washington have stagnated, but the high fire between Iran and Israel has been in force since June 24.
Iran and Saudi Arabia have often been on opposite sides of regional conflicts, even in Syria and Yemen.
The two regional heavyweights broke diplomatic relations in 2016 before restoring them in 2023 under an approach agreement negotiated by China.
He ascended to a diplomatic achievement for MBS, who has adopted a more conciliatory approach to regional diplomacy in recent years.
Saudi Arabia condemned Israeli attacks about Iran last month, calling them “aggressions” and a “clear violation of international laws.”
Riyad also expressed his “great concern” after the United States attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, said Araghchi held “fruitful conversations” with Prince Muhammad, as well as the FM, Prince Faisal Bin Farhan and the Minister of Defense, Prince Khaled Bin Salman, about bilateral relationships and developments in the region.
