Arab ministers meet in Istanbul at Iraq's request over Iran-Israel conflict
Istanbul ( – Arab foreign ministers convened in Istanbul on Friday for an emergency meeting requested by Iraq to address the escalating Iran-Israel conflict and its potential impact on regional stability. The meeting came ahead of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit scheduled for the weekend and focused on the ongoing air war, which began on June 13 when Israel launched strikes, claiming Iran was nearing nuclear weapons capability. Tehran responded with immediate retaliatory attacks, marking the most serious confrontation between the two rivals to date. The Istanbul talks aimed to form a unified Arab position on the crisis and explore ways to contain further escalation. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held separate talks in Geneva with his British, French, and German counterparts before joining the broader OIC discussions.
