🇮🇷🇸🇦🇹🇷🇵🇰 "A new atmosphere is emerging in the region," Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told reporters after hosting top officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey in Tehran on Monday.

🔸Rezaei, a longtime former IRGC commander, said the sides held "very good" talks and agreed that West Asia's security should be managed by regional states, without foreign intervention. The "results of the Iranian nation's resistance" are becoming more tangible "day by day," he said.

🔸 Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman, Pakistani army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalın also met President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Araghchi. The four countries said they would "continue the dialogue," and officials called it the first in an expected series of meetings, though no date has been set.

🔸 Iran expert Vali Nasr of Johns Hopkins called the meeting "a big PR win for Iran," with regional powers coming to Tehran "to ask for help on Yemen." Nasr noted that Iran is now calling it the "Tehran Summit," a sign it envisions a regional order it would define and lead. That order would keep the US out, he wrote, which "does not easily square" with its guests' US ties.

The meeting came a day after President Donald Trump said he was deciding whether to "finish it off" or "make a deal" with Iran.
