We examine the reported diplomatic position and the challenges facing regional dialogue. PART 2 | Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Turkey (08:11–15:05) Reuters reported renewed Houthi activity affecting Saudi Arabia, including incidents involving Riyadh airport. Turkey has condemned the developments. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would submit the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement to parliament for ratification. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Turkey was assessing Saudi Arabia’s needs while ruling out Turkish troop deployment and participation in offensive operations. PART 3 | United States, Iran and the Strait of Hormuz (15:06–18:44) Reuters reported on October 12 that Iran was reviewing the US response to its proposal concerning the Strait of Hormuz.

PART 4 | Pakistan-Afghanistan and Russia (18:45–22:30) Russia has renewed its offer to facilitate a settlement between Pakistan and Afghanistan if both sides request its involvement. Pakistan’s Foreign Office has said it is open to sincere diplomatic efforts but that no separate, formal Russian mediation initiative is currently under discussion. We analyse the diplomatic position and obstacles to progress. PART 5 | Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Governor’s Rule (22:31–25:28) Maulana Fazlur Rehman has rejected the imposition of Governor’s Rule and emergency measures in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
