Foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt and Türkiye, known as the R4, met in Istanbul before counterparts from the UK, France and Germany—the E3—joined them. Their first meeting in this format focused on Iran and Yemen amid fears of renewed military escalation. Netanyahu is campaigning for regime change in Tehran, Trump has signalled possible new strikes, and Tehran has vowed retaliation.
