Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman chaired a consultative meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Jeddah, state media said, the first in-person meeting of Gulf leaders since their states became a front in the war on Iran two months ago, Reuters reports.

A Gulf official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the meeting aimed to craft a response to the thousands of Iranian missile and drone attacks Gulf states have faced since the US and Israel launched the war with strikes on Iran on February 28.

Saudi state media said the summit discussed “topics and issues related to regional and international developments, and the coordination of efforts regarding them”.
