Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan sent senior officials to Tehran on Monday for talks aimed at easing regional tensions, as concerns grow that US President Donald Trump could authorize fresh strikes against Iran after next week’s midterm elections.

The delegation included Saudi Prince Khalid bin Salman, Pakistani military chief Asim Munir and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin. They met Iranian leaders to discuss de-escalation and possible regional security arrangements, according to officials cited by CNN.

The talks mark the first high-level contact between Saudi Arabia and Iran since attacks by Iran-backed Houthi militants against Saudi targets intensified last month. The three visiting countries form the Mecca Alliance, a security pact that treats an attack on one member as an attack on all.

Regional governments fear renewed US-Israeli military action could trigger further Iranian retaliation and deepen economic disruption. However, analysts cautioned that the talks may not produce a breakthrough, as Tehran seeks guarantees against future attacks that the visiting powers may be unable to provide.
