Iran hosted the defense minister of Saudi Arabia, the leader of Pakistan, and the Turkish top intelligence officer in Tehran.

What we found

Supports. AP photo captions and reporting identify Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman, Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Turkey's intelligence head Ibrahim Kalin attending high-level talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran on October 26, 2026.[1][4]

Supports. Reuters reports that officials from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan met Iranian officials in Tehran on Monday, with Prince Khalid bin Salman representing Saudi Arabia, Munir representing Pakistan, and Kalin representing Turkey.[2]

Supports. CNN and Yahoo/Al Jazeera coverage independently confirm the three officials attended talks hosted by Iran in Tehran.[3][5]

Context. Pakistan is represented by its army chief rather than a civilian head of government, so "leader of Pakistan" is a looser label than the sources use, but the post itself used that phrase while naming Munir.[1][2]
