Saudi Arabia yesterday evening hosted a consultative meeting of foreign ministers from several Arab and Islamic countries in Riyadh to discuss ways to address Iranian aggression and support regional security and stability.

At the time of going to press, no information on the outcome of the meeting was available from the Saudi Foreign Ministry.

The talks come amid heightened regional tensions. The Saudi Foreign Ministry said the meeting provided an opportunity for dialogue among participating countries to support peace and prevent further escalation in the Middle East.

The session included foreign ministers from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, other Arab League members, and selected Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries affected by the conflict.

Iran has targeted US military assets, Israeli sites, and several Arab countries — including the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan — describing the strikes as responses to perceived support for the offensive campaign.

Casualties

The attacks have caused civilian casualties in some cases, infrastructure damage, temporary shutdowns of oil facilities, airspace closures, and disruptions to trade and transport. Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura facility was affected after intercepted debris fell in the area.
