Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will discuss bilateral issues and efforts to secure a ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza on his visit to Saudi Arabia, a senior Iranian official said, Reuters reports.

“Regional unity and cooperation to secure peace in the Middle East, ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza as well as bilateral issues will be discussed during the Iranian foreign minister’s visit to Saudi Arabia,” the source told Reuters.

Tehran has told Gulf Arab states it would be “unacceptable” if they allowed use of their airspace or military bases for attacks against Iran and warned that any such move would draw a response, another senior Iranian source said earlier.
