Tehran is set to host a pivotal quadripartite security summit with top defense and intelligence leaders from the newly formed Mecca Defence Alliance—comprising Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey—to deliberate on long-term regional security and de-escalation.
The upcoming summit was confirmed by Ali Bagheri Kani, Deputy Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), during an interview broadcast on state television (IRIB). According to Bagheri Kani, the Tehran meeting will feature Prince Khalid bin Salman (Saudi Defense Minister), Field Marshal Asim Munir (Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan), and Ibrahim Kalin (Director of Turkish State Intelligence). Iran's delegation will be led by SNSC Secretary Mohsen Rezaei.
Bagheri Kani emphasized that this four-party meeting scheduled for Tuesday (October 27, 2026) represents a major step toward building an "endogenous" regional security framework—one driven by regional powers without foreign interference. The high-stakes dialogue comes against the backdrop of ongoing Middle Eastern hostilities, maritime tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz oil transit routes, stalled diplomatic negotiations between Washington and Tehran, and expanding conflict zones involving Houthi forces in Yemen.
