A high-level diplomatic delegation from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey convened in Tehran, Iran, today, October 26, 2026, for urgent talks aimed at de-escalating tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel [4][5][6]. This gathering follows increased Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and fears of renewed US-Iran fighting, with both the US and Israel reportedly having plans for military strikes on Iran after the American midterm elections on November 3 [1][2][5][7].

These discussions highlight a concerted diplomatic effort to prevent broader conflict in the region, bringing together key regional players at a critical juncture.

## What the Records Show

The delegation included Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, Pakistan army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin [7][10][13]. They met with Iranian officials to promote dialogue and seek diplomatic solutions for regional security challenges [13]. Ali Bagheri Kani, Deputy Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, affirmed the meeting and suggested it could establish an "indigenous regional security framework" [4]. The talks specifically brought together Iran and the three signatories to the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey [5][7]. This agreement, signed in August, considers an armed attack on one member an attack on all [7][9]. Dr. Rayed Krimly, Saudi Arabia's deputy minister for public diplomacy, confirmed Prince Khalid's participation via his X account [10]. The delegation was scheduled to meet with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Secretary-General of the Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei [10][13].

## The Timeline

The talks occurred on October 26, 2026 [4][5][6]. The United States and Israel have reportedly drawn up plans for renewed military strikes on Iran following the American midterm elections on November 3 [2]. An October 23 memo from Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated US intelligence found that "Iran has substantially increased efforts to target US personnel" [1]. Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia have escalated in recent weeks [5][7], targeting Riyadh airport and Saudi oil facilities [15][17]. Qatari mediators also met Iranian officials in Tehran on Sunday, October 25, as part of de-escalation efforts [7]. Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, had visited Tehran earlier, and senior Iranian officials told him no talks with Washington would occur until Tehran's demands were met [7][8].

## What Changed and For Whom

This meeting marks the first high-level contact between Iran and all members of the Makkah Pact since Saudi Arabia became more deeply involved in the wider Iran conflict [7][17]. The primary objective of these discussions is to prevent further conflict and push for a diplomatic agreement with Washington [14][15]. A key focus for some in the delegation is how Iran might persuade the Houthis to end their attacks on Saudi Arabian infrastructure [15]. These talks represent a direct engagement between the parties involved in the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement and Iran, aiming to manage a volatile regional situation that could involve broader military action from the US and Israel [6][7].

## What the Subject Has Said Publicly

Ali Bagheri Kani, Deputy Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stated that this four-country meeting "can certainly be an effective and important step in shaping an indigenous regional security framework" [4]. Dr. Rayed Krimly, Saudi Arabia's deputy minister for public diplomacy, indicated that the meeting aimed to "help ease regional tensions" and promote "dialogue and diplomatic solutions" [10][13].

## What We Could Not Confirm

We could not confirm the specific outcomes or agreements reached during the October 26, 2026, meeting [4][5][7]. It is unconfirmed if the meeting directly resulted in a change in Houthi activity or US and Israeli military plans [15].
