RIYADH, MAY 11: Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan discussed the latest regional developments with his Iranian and Pakistani counterparts in separate calls, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said Monday.
Prince Faisal received a call from Iran’s Abbas Araghchi, during which they discussed “the latest developments related to Pakistani mediation efforts and the ongoing diplomatic talks between Iran and US,” the ministry said adding that the officials exchanged views regarding the matter.
The top Saudi diplomat, meanwhile, called his Pakistani counterpart, Ishaq Dar.
The officials discussed “Pakistan’s mediation efforts between Iran and the US. Both sides stressed the importance of [reaching] diplomatic solutions and voiced their support for all efforts aimed at restoring stability to the region,” the ministry said.
Days after the US floated an offer in the hopes of re-opening negotiations, Iran on Sunday released a response, but within hours, US President Trump dismissed Iran’s proposal with a post on social media.
Trump slammed the proposal as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!”
