Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reiterated in a phone call with Iranian president the Kingdom's condemnation of the Israeli strikes on Iran saying they have 'disrupted' dialogue aimed at resolving the crisis, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Saturday. Speaking with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, MBS underscored Saudi Arabia's 'condemnation and denunciation of these [Israeli] attacks, which undermine the sovereignty and security of the Islamic Republic of Iran and constitute a violation of international laws and norms.'

The Crown Prince 'emphasized the Kingdom's rejection of the use of force to resolve disputes, advocating for dialogue as the fundamental principle for resolving differences.' Israel carried out the strikes on Iran early on Friday, in what it warned would be a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon. Iran launched its own retaliatory missile volley on Friday night, with both countries launching fresh attacks on each other overnight into Sunday. For his part Pezeshkian expressed his appreciation to the 'Kingdom's stance in rejecting and condemning the Israeli aggression,' according to SPA.

Germany, France, UK offer Iran talks over nuclear program: Berlin
Germany, France and Britain are ready to hold immediate talks with Iran over Tehran's nuclear program in a bid to de-escalate the situation in the Middle East, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said. Wadephul, who is on a visit to the Middle East, said he was trying to contribute towards a de-escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran, and noted Tehran had previously failed to take the opportunity to enter into constructive talks. 'I hope that's still possible,' Wadephul told German public broadcaster ARD late on Saturday. 'Germany, together with France and Britain are ready. We're offering Iran immediate negotiations about the nuclear program, I hope (the offer) is accepted.' 'This is also a key prerequisite for reaching a pacification of this conflict, that Iran presents no danger to the region, for the state of Israel or to Europe.'
