Senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey were due in Tehran on Monday for talks with Iranian leaders, Iranian state media and a Saudi official said, according to Dawn's wire report¹.

Middle East Eye said Ali Bagheri, deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, confirmed the visit and named Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, Pakistan's army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin³. The Times of India, citing Iran's Mehr news agency, listed the same three officials⁷.

Dawn, carrying Reuters and AFP, said IRNA quoted Bagheri as tying the visit to regional security talks, and that Saudi Deputy Minister for Public Diplomacy Rayed Krimly confirmed meetings the same day with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and security chief Mohsen Rezaei¹.

Al-Monitor, carrying Reuters, said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei described the agenda as regional security, including the effects of U.S. and Israeli military action against Iran, and said the meeting was proposed during Munir's visit to Tehran last week². Dawn likewise noted Munir had been in Iran last week¹.

Al-Monitor's Reuters copy said Monday would be the first high-level contact between Iran and all three Makkah pact members since Saudi Arabia was drawn further into the wider conflict, and that the August Mecca Joint Defence Agreement treats an armed attack on one member as an attack on all². Dawn's wire account said Krimly framed the trip as de-escalation and support for mediation by Qatar and Pakistan¹.

Al-Monitor said Pakistan's military media wing and Turkey's Foreign Ministry had not immediately commented². Whether the talks take place as scheduled, and whether they produce any agreement, was not established in the reports reviewed^1,2,3.
