Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister has met his Bahraini counterpart in Riyadh and “discussed the latest regional developments, including the US-Iran negotiation path”, according to a statement from his office.
Saudi Arabia’s Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and Bahrain’s Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani also discussed “the ongoing efforts of both countries to enhance security and stability”, the statement said.
They “reaffirmed the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation” in the Strait of Hormuz, it added.
Iran attacked Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, after the US and Israel bombed Iran on February 28. Tehran insists it has only targeted US interests in the Gulf, but regional leaders say civilian infrastructure was also struck.
