In June 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran sought to initiate talks with Israel and the United States to end hostilities and resume negotiations over its nuclear program. Iran reportedly sent urgent messages to both countries through Arab intermediaries, expressing a desire to de-escalate the conflict, provided the U.S. does not join any attacks. In early July 2025, diplomatic engagements intensified as Iran's Foreign Minister met separately with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman, and Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan in Riyadh. These meetings marked the first high-level talks following the Iran-Israel truce. Saudi Arabia expressed its commitment to developing relations with Iran across all sectors, condemned military aggression against Iran, and emphasized the use of diplomacy to resolve regional issues. Iran acknowledged and appreciated Saudi Arabia's responsible stance in condemning Israeli attacks. Additionally, reports indicated that Khalid bin Salman had a confidential discussion with former U.S. President Donald Trump about efforts to reduce tensions with Iran. These developments underscore a regional diplomatic push toward stabilizing relations after recent hostilities involving Iran and Israel.
