Saudi Arabia seeks de-escalation with Iran after joint strikes

Saudi Arabia's Defense Minister, Prince Khalid bin Salman, met with Vice President JD Vance to convey a message of de-escalation with Iran, despite recent joint U.S.-Saudi strikes against pro-Iranian militias in Iraq.

Prince Khalid emphasized that while Saudi Arabia will defend itself, its primary goal is to avoid further escalation with Iran, contrasting this stance with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's perceived push for escalation.
