Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan held high-level talks with Iran to de-escalate the Middle East conflict amid new Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. Egypt approved defence support for Saudi Arabia, while ongoing tensions escalate risks around the Gulf energy chokepoint, impacting regional security and global energy supply.
