Saudi foreign minister prince faisal bin farhan and his united arab emirates counterpart sheikh abdullah bin zayed al nahyan discussed the latest regional developments amid iranian attacks: The discussions between these key figures took place in light of the ongoing Iranian hostilities in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The ministers focused on ways to bolster the security and stability of the area, as stated by the ministry on the social media platform X.

According to Anadolu Agency, the UAE Foreign Ministry indicated that Sheikh Abdullah engaged in a series of calls with various international counterparts, including Prince Faisal. These discussions centered on addressing the "repercussions" of the Iranian attacks. Both officials strongly condemned these actions, labeling them as a clear breach of international law and the United Nations Charter. They emphasized the direct threat posed to the security and sovereignty of states, as well as to regional stability.

The dialogue also underscored the need for enhanced international cooperation and joint efforts to sustain regional security and stability. Additionally, the conversations highlighted the importance of supporting the aspirations of the region's populations for comprehensive development and sustainable economic prosperity.

The backdrop to these discussions is the escalation of hostilities following joint attacks by Israel and the US on Iran on February 28, which resulted in approximately 1,300 casualties, including the death of then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In retaliation, Iran has launched drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries that host US military assets.
