Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman conveyed a message to Iranian officials last month urging them to 'take seriously' U.S. President Donald Trump's nuclear deal proposal, as it would help prevent military confrontation with Israel and prevent regional instability escalation. This was reported by Reuters, citing Gulf sources close to government circles and two Iranian official sources. The Saudi Defense Minister visited Tehran last month and delivered the message during a meeting with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, promising Iran that his country would not allow Israel to use its airspace against the Islamic Republic if it refrains from actions that could provoke Washington.
