Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had their first-ever telephone call on Wednesday to discuss the shocking Hamas attack in Israel that has killed over 1,200 people.
The discussion was the first between the two leaders since a China-brokered deal between Tehran and Riyadh to resume ties and came just hours after US President Joe Biden told Iran to 'be careful' in the wake of the attack.
The two leaders' call came as Israel carried out air strikes in the Gaza Strip in retaliation for a deadly attack by Palestinian Hamas militants in Israel.
Raisi and the Saudi crown prince discussed the 'need to end war crimes against Palestine,' Iranian state media said.
The Saudi crown prince, for his part, 'affirmed that the Kingdom is making all possible efforts in communicating with all international and regional parties to stop the ongoing escalation,' Saudi state news agency SPA said.
He also reiterated Saudi Arabia's rejection of targeting civilians in any way, SPA added.
President Joe Biden sent a warning to Iran earlier Wednesday amid reports of their continued support of Hamas.
At least 1,200 Israelis were killed in Saturday's carnage, which begun when Hamas militants crossed from Gaza into Israel and murdered people at a music festival and in their homes near the border.
'This attack was a campaign of pure cruelty, not just hate, but pure cruelty, against the Jewish people,' Biden said.
He added: 'I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children.'
Biden issued his first public warning to Iran since the Hamas attack on Israel as he faced growing pressure to freeze $6 billion of Tehran's assets.

However this call I was expecting, and I can hear how it went down but I'll save the jokes.
As for Joe telling Iran to "be careful" shut up Joe you funded this, now we have the Arabs in on it.
MBS is up to something. I don’t know what it is. He was all ready to normalize relations with Israel. Then the Palestinians commit atrocities against Israel and suddenly he has become a champion of the Palestinian cause ? What does he get out of it ?
Of course MBS is up to something. He’s been itching for this as long as Iran has.
All I can say is hang on this is going to be bad.
Iran needs to be hit and the US should do it.
“Of course MBS is up to something. He’s been itching for this as long as Iran has.

Well hopefully nothing worst than $7 a gallon gas.

The only way to stop it is to nuke them off the planet. They are subhuman and need eradicated .
My guess, the foreign departments who would have been pushing for some agreement stopped doing work about 2 years ago because new management didn’t want real peace to be a political talking point.
No one is using nuclear weapons. Israel maybe, if they are threatened. Or Iran if it wants to commit suicide, however, using nukes is diplomatic and political suicide.
The Saudi royal bloodline should have been exterminated after 9/11.
Try to bear in mind that the Saudis are scared to death of Iran. They are going to cry oh dear then later join the Abraham accords as planned.
