US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

The Saudi monarch, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, will meet with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who arrived in Riyadh on Wednesday evening.

Pompeo said in a tweet on his Twitter post shortly after his arrival in the Saudi capital that the United States was committed to standing with Saudi Arabia to confront Iran's malicious behavior in the region.

Before heading to Riyadh, Pompeo said, "We are not in a hurry, the pressure campaign against Iran continues. It is not only a campaign of economic pressure ... it is isolation through diplomacy as well."

"We will spend a lot of time (in Riyadh) talking about security issues - in particular, the threats of the Republic of Iran, but we will also talk about many things," he added.
