It is pertinent to mention that Saudi Arabia is hosting an emergency gathering of Arab and Islamic foreign ministers in Riyadh on Wednesday to discuss ways to bolster regional security and stability.
The Saudi foreign ministry said the consultative meeting of Arab and Islamic foreign ministers in Riyadh is “aimed at enhancing coordination and discussions on regional security and stability,” with a focus on “supporting the security and stability of the region.”
Following a joint US-Israeli strike on Iran on February 28, Tehran launched waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Gulf states, Israel, and American assets across the region, plunging the region into one of its most serious security crises in years.
Gulf airports, including major cargo hubs in Dubai and Doha, have faced repeated closures due to Iranian strikes, disrupting trade, travel, and the flow of critical medical supplies.
