ISLAMABAD - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman's special message to Pakistani PM Imran Khan during his stay in Kingdom.
Prime Minister Imran revealed that Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman asked him to mediate with Iran to defuse tensions.
He further said, “Trump asked me that if we could de-escalate the situation and maybe come up with another deal,” he said after meeting both Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
Before being asked by Trump, the premier said, during his stopover in Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Muhammad asked him to speak to the Iranian president to de-escalate tensions between the two countries.
Saudi Arabia has blamed Iran for attacks on its plants, which rattled international markets and exposed the kingdom’s vulnerability to attack. Iran has denied any involvement and vowed to retaliate against even a limited military aggression.
“I immediately spoke to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani after being asked by Trump to mediate on the issue and at the moment I can’t reveal much,” he added.
Prime Minister Imran is on a week-long visit to attend the 74th session of UN General Assembly in New York.
