Saudi Prince Meets Iran for Diplomacy Over Houthi Attacks
Saudi Defense Minister, Prince Khalid bin Salman, landed in Tehran, Iran, on Monday (10/26/2026). The visit is believed to be aimed at asking Iran for help in bridging diplomacy with Yemen's Houthi group, which has been launching attacks on Saudi Arabia pretty frequently.
According to reports, Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan will take part in talks with Saudi Arabia regarding the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement. The deal is partly modeled after NATO and will be put to the test through this meeting.
The Saudi side said this visit is about opening up negotiation channels to prevent military escalation. The meeting was attended by the Iranian President, Foreign Minister, and the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
The four countries agreed to keep the talks going to boost cooperation in peace and security areas.
