Marco Rubio also appeared downbeat about the prospects of a deal with Tehran, saying Iran currently did not appear realistic about negotiations.

Europe - alarmed by US President Donald Trump floating a deal with Moscow on European security ahead of the talks - will also send representatives to Abu Dhabi.

Trump, who met Qatar's prime minister earlier on Monday, said "Qatar would rather see a peaceful solution" and "Saudi Arabia would rather see a peaceful solution" but "we're ready to go anytime we want" with strikes.

Trump could also try to strike with the status quo -- the naval blockade coupled with crippling economic sanctions that leave the Iranian regime to "rot" -- while continuing to test its appetite for a deal. This path, however, could take months to show progress.

Trump said Israel no longer needs it and that some Democrats and left-wing politicians were using this US funding to Israel as a talking point to criticise Republicans.

Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said that Pakistan's military capabilities would be available to Saudi Arabia under a new mutual defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Trump has signed deal with Denmark and Greenland to expand US military presence, describing it as "tremendous for everyone."
