According to the official accounts, the ministers underlined that escalation could undermine peace and stability and stressed the need for collective efforts to avoid actions that might trigger wider confrontations. Their discussion reviewed themes raised earlier by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about the dangers of heightened military pressure and threats.
Iran has been vocal in rejecting talks with the United States under conditions it views as threatening, arguing that negotiations should be based on mutual respect and free from military threats. Iranian officials have called for diplomacy that addresses regional security concerns without coercion.
