Saudi Arabia diverged with Turkey and Pakistan on condemning Iran

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan showed differing views on condemning Iran during a meeting of Arab and Muslim foreign ministers in Riyadh. The Saudi government pushed for a strong censure of Iran following missile and drone attacks on the kingdom, which are part of a wider conflict with the US and Israel. Turkey and Pakistan were initially hesitant to use harsh language but were persuaded after an attack occurred while diplomats were gathered. This divergence highlights how the regional conflict is impacting national security priorities, even among nations that were previously in talks for a trilateral security pact.
