Qatari Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defense Affairs Saud bin Abdulrahman bin Hassan Al Thani received a phone call from Iran's acting Defense Minister Majid Ebn Reza on Monday evening, amid rising regional tensions.

According to a statement from Qatar's Defense Ministry, the two officials reviewed the latest security developments in the region and discussed areas of joint coordination in light of the current circumstances.

The call comes as Gulf states remain on alert following recent military escalations involving Iran, the US and Israel, alongside growing concerns over maritime security in the region.
