Saudi Defense Minister and US Counterpart Discuss Military Escalation in the Middle East
In a high-level phone call on Sunday, Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman engaged in discussions with his US counterpart regarding the ongoing military escalation in the Middle East.

During the call, Prince Khalid and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin delved into strategies aimed at containing the crisis while prioritizing the maintenance of international peace and security.
Additionally, the officials took the opportunity to assess their countries’ strong strategic defense partnership, brainstorming ways to elevate the collaboration to even greater heights, as detailed by the Kingdom’s defense minister in a post on X.
