*ISLAMABAD: After China, PM Imran Khan to leave for two very important foreign policy visits soon.*

Prime Minister Imran Khan to travel to Iran and Saudi Arabia in coming days. Prime Minister Imran Khan is playing efforts to defuse brewing tensions in the Middle East.

Prime Minister will visit Tehran and Riyadh in coming days and the dates of the visits were yet to be finalised. The purpose of the visit was to mediate between the two countries, added the official.

Tensions have been brewing between Tehran and Riyadh since the Saudi oil facilities were struck by missiles last month. Both Saudi Arabia and the United States blamed Iran for the drone strikes — a charge Tehran has strongly rebutted.
