Pakistan to host talks with Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt on Iran war
Pakistan is hosting talks with Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt on the Iran war today, according to Pakistan’s foreign ministry.
Foreign ministers from the four countries are set to hold “in-depth discussions on a range of issues, including efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region” today and tomorrow.
“We would discuss where the negotiations in this war are heading and how these four countries assess the situation and what can be done,” Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told broadcaster A Haber on Friday.
In recent weeks, Pakistan has positioned itself as a potential venue for indirect US-Iran negotiations.
It has conveyed to Tehran a US proposal for ending the war and offered to host talks between the two sides.

It said authorities were investigating the attacks’ “sources and motives” without providing further details.

Yemen condemns Iran’s ‘attempts to drag’ it into war
The Yemen government strongly condemned Iran’s “frequent attempts to drag” it into wars through its allied militias, the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) reported yesterday.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebel group claimed responsibility for launching missiles towards Israel yesterday, marking their entry into the US-led war against Iran for the first time since February.
“The new round of subversive Iranian policies, which the Houthis terrorist militias have joined, reproduces the catastrophic model experienced by other countries in the region, where armed groups outside the law continue to seize the decision over war and peace, and involve their countries in destructive confrontations,” Yemen’s internationally recognised government said in a statement.
