Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Wednesday praised Donald Trump’s decision to “give diplomacy a chance” after the US president announced earlier that he had called off planned strikes on Iran.

The minister wrote on social media that the kingdom “highly appreciates the US President Donald Trump’s decision to give diplomacy a chance to reach an acceptable agreement to end the war”.

The minister added that Saudi Arabia remained supportive of ongoing mediation efforts carried out by Pakistan and urged Iran to seize “the opportunity to avoid the dangerous implications of escalation”.
