Saudi Arabia’s official news agency announced that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman held a phone conversation with Mohammed bin Zayed, President of the United Arab Emirates, discussing the latest regional developments and expanding bilateral cooperation. According to reports, both parties emphasized examining ways to enhance security and stability in the region. The UAE’s WAM news agency also reported that the call covered areas of joint cooperation between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi. Saudi media stated that the consultation included reviewing ongoing efforts to increase regional stability. The conversation took place amid recent Western media reports suggesting possible roles of Saudi Arabia and the UAE in military developments related to Iran. Bloomberg, citing its sources, claimed that the UAE conducted two operations against Iran coordinated with Israel; one before and one after a ceasefire. Reuters, quoting four informed sources, reported that Saudi Arabia carried out attacks in the recent conflicts in West Asia. According to two Western officials, these incidents occurred in late March, but no further details concerning targets or scope have been disclosed. Al Arabiya network also characterized the phone call between bin Salman and bin Zayed within the context of continued tensions between the United States and Iran and the lack of significant progress on the diplomatic front. So far, official Saudi and UAE authorities have not provided detailed explanations regarding the claims presented in Western media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
