Saudi, Pakistani and Turkish chiefs hold talks in Tehran as US forces are reportedly poised to strike Iran 'within days'
Saudi air defences intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile headed for the city's airport ahead of emergency talks in Tehran over a possible US strike on Iran.
Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, Pakistani army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin have all travelled to Tehran for talks with Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei. The meetings were preceded by Saudi air defences intercepting a Houthi ballistic missile headed for Riyadh airport. Two US officials have indicated that American forces could receive orders to carry out new strikes within 96 hours. President Donald Trump says he is considering a negotiated settlement alongside the option of military action to 'finish them off'.
Any strikes would target Iran's energy, nuclear and military infrastructure, most likely after the midterms.
Trump urged Israelis to return Netanyahu to office so the two leaders could 'finish the job' in Iran.
A US intelligence memo warns that Iranian plots to kill Americans have reached 'advanced stages'.
