Iran has been actively engaging with Arab states in recent weeks, with officials conducting consultations and diplomatic visits amidst rising tensions in the region. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced plans to travel to Saudi Arabia and other countries following recent meetings in Beirut and Damascus. This comes as Israel considers a potential strike on Iran.
President Masoud Pezeshkian also visited Qatar shortly after Iran launched a significant missile attack on Israel. The upcoming meeting in Riyadh would mark the third high-level Iranian-Saudi engagement in less than a month, indicating a concerted effort to strengthen regional ties.
