According to a release published on X, Bin Farhan received a phone call from Araghchi to discuss “the recent escalation in the region and the efforts being made in this regard.”

The diplomatic institution provided no further details regarding the measures discussed or the outcome of the exchange.

The communication takes place amid military tensions in the Middle East, including strikes on Saudi airport facilities and disruptions to maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

On Saturday, the King Khaled International Airport in this capital was the target of an attack that, according to official Saudi reports, resulted in fatalities and hundreds of injured people. Casualty figures have varied across published reports.

On Sunday, the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen attributed the attack to the Houthi movement and warned that it would respond firmly.
