We discussed our shared concerns about the changing situation in West Asia and the need to return to dialogue and diplomacy.

“We will continue close cooperation and coordinated efforts for the early restoration of peace and stability in the region,” he said. The conflict in West Asia began after US and Israeli military strikes on Iran on February 28, which killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Following the military attack, Iran launched attacks targeting Israeli and American military bases in several Gulf countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The conflict has escalated significantly in the last few days due to attacks and counter-attacks from both sides.
