Iran-Saudi Arabia: Pezeshkian Warns After Trump's Armada to the Gulf

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spoke by phone with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a key US ally, after US President Donald Trump announced he was sending an "armada" to the Gulf. Pezeshkian warned that American threats aim to disrupt regional security and will only lead to instability. Trump has repeatedly threatened military intervention in Iran, and a US naval force has already been deployed to the region. The conversation took place amid rising tensions and concerns for regional security. The Iranian president's warning underscores Iran's perception that the US is seeking to destabilize the region, while the deployment of US forces is a response to recent protests and their suppression in Iran.
