[Tehran, April 28, 2025] — According to a report by the news agency Arab News, the foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia held a telephone conversation on Monday, during which they consulted on bilateral relations as well as various regional and international issues.

At the beginning of the conversation, the Saudi Foreign Minister expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incident that occurred at Iran’s Shahid Rajaee port.
