DUBAI — Iran’s foreign minister held separate phone conversations Monday evening with his Saudi Arabian and Omani counterparts, focusing on security matters involving the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement released Tuesday on his Telegram channel.
The statement indicated that Abbas Araqchi “discussed the latest bilateral and regional developments, and emphasized the need to strengthen cooperation and advance joint diplomatic efforts to establish stability in the region.”
The conversation between Araqchi and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan took place shortly after Saudi Arabia announced that its forces had intercepted and shot down drones that were launched against the kingdom by Iran-affiliated groups operating out of Iraq.
