Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) foreign ministers held an emergency meeting on March 1 to discuss what they described as Iran's "flagrant and unjustified" attacks on member states, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah participated in the 50th extraordinary session of the GCC Ministerial Council via video link alongside his counterparts from the bloc's member states.

The ministers condemned the Iranian strikes in the strongest terms and affirmed the right of GCC states to take all necessary measures and deploy all available resources to protect their security and stability.

Iran's retaliatory operations following the joint US-Israeli strikes on February 28 targeted US military positions across several Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar, drawing the GCC nations directly into the conflict.

The emergency session comes amid the growing alarm among Persian Gulf governments over the widening scope of hostilities, with Iranian missiles and drones striking military and civilian infrastructure across the region.

Earlier, Ali Larijani, a senior adviser to the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, denied reports that Iran had offered to resume negotiations with Washington through Omani intermediaries, posting "We will not negotiate with the United States" on X on March 1.

His statement came in direct response to a Wall Street Journal report, cited by Al Jazeera, that Larijani had initiated contact with Washington via Omani mediators to resume talks.

In a separate two-part post on X, Larijani accused US President Donald Trump of plunging the region into chaos through "delusional aspirations" and said Trump had turned his own slogan of "America First" into "Israel First," sacrificing American soldiers for Israeli ambitions.

"He is now worried about further American casualties," Larijani wrote. "With new fabrications, he is once again imposing the cost of his personality cult on American soldiers and families."
