Iran described the discussions with the three countries as very good, but the broader security situation remains volatile. A Saudi-led coalition reportedly struck Houthi missile sites in Yemen and intercepted drones, while Jordan carried out airstrikes against suspected militant positions in southern Syria after a deadly church attack. Israel is also approaching a pivotal election, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggesting that war with Iran could resume with U.S. backing, raising the risk that diplomacy will be overtaken by further regional escalation.[2][3][6]
