Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and newly elected Iranian President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian spoke over the phone to exchange Eid Al-Adha greetings and reaffirm their commitment to improving regional cooperation between the two influential Muslim nations.

In return, the Saudi Crown Prince expressed gratitude for the Iranian leader’s warm sentiments and offered his own Eid greetings. He also welcomed the spirit of unity conveyed by Iran’s new leadership.
President Pezeshkian reiterated Iran’s desire to deepen collaboration with all Muslim countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, and emphasized the need for greater unity in the Islamic world. The cordial exchange comes as both nations continue efforts to rebuild ties following the landmark 2023 agreement brokered by China that restored formal diplomatic relations.
This latest outreach is seen as a positive sign for the broader Middle East, where increased coordination between Riyadh and Tehran could contribute to stability in a region long marred by rivalry and unrest.
