Report: Saudi Arabia told Tehran it won't let strikes on Iran be launched from its soil or airspace

Saudi Arabia has told Iran it will not allow attacks on the Islamic Republic to be launched from its territory or airspace if fighting with the United States resumes, Israel's Kan News reported Monday evening, citing a Saudi source, according to The Yeshiva World.

Per the report, Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman met Iran's top leadership in Tehran in recent days, joined by representatives of Turkey and Pakistan. In return for staying out, Riyadh expects Tehran not to attack the kingdom; bringing in Turkey and Pakistan was meant to signal that an attack on Saudi Arabia could draw them in too. An Emirati official told Kan the Gulf states expect a confrontation and have little trust in Iran.

Iran's Mohsen Rezaei separately described four-way talks in Tehran with Saudi, Turkish and Pakistani officials, Iran International reports, citing The Washington Post on Gulf efforts to head off renewed U.S. strikes. Saudi Arabia and the UAE made similar no-launch pledges in January. There was no official Saudi statement on the latest report as of early Tuesday. The report comes hours after a U.S. strike on Iran's Qeshm Island.
