Confirmed · Tehran, Iran ·

Officials from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan held four-way security talks with Iran in Tehran on Monday 26 October 2026, hosted by Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei, according to Iranian and Saudi official statements. A joint statement says the sides agreed to continue dialogue on regional peace and security, while the Saudi foreign ministry said the visit aimed to de-escalate and that the meeting ended without concrete announcements. Reports name Saudi Defence Minister Khalid bin Salman, Pakistani army chief Asim Munir and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin as attending, with President Pezeshkian meeting them, and tie the visit to the Iran-US war and Houthi attacks.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
