Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received a telephone call on Saturday from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

They reviewed developments in the region following the Israeli attack on Iran, which disrupted the ongoing dialogue to resolve the crisis over its nuclear program.

The two leaders stressed the need to exert every effort to de-escalate tensions and exercise restraint, as well as the importance of returning to dialogue and resolving all disputes through diplomatic means.
