Iranian Security Council chief Mohsen Rezaei met Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. Khamenei had not been seen in public since succeeding his father in March. The meeting followed talks Rezaei held with representatives from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan on Monday. These nations, along with Iran, are signatories to the Mecca mutual defence pact. The conflict, which began when the US and Israel attacked Iran in February, has drawn Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi movement into direct conflict. Discussions between Khamenei and Rezaei covered safeguarding national and regional security, maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz, and strengthening bilateral relations with neighboring countries. Iran's conditions for ending the war include the lifting of US port blockades and oil sanctions.
