as Violation of Its Sovereignty Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Strikes on Iran

Recent Israeli attacks on Iranian targets have been denounced by Saudi Arabia as a breach of Iranian sovereignty. The Times of Israel reported on the intensification of military measures in the region, which deeply alarmed the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which released a statement late Friday night.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

The statement emphasized the Kingdom’s commitment to international law and respect for national sovereignty, urging all parties to refrain from actions that could exacerbate regional tensions. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemns these acts of aggression and calls for immediate cessation of hostilities, the ministry said. Such actions undermine efforts towards regional stability and peace.

This condemnation follows reports of Israeli fighter jets targeting multiple sites in Iran, which Israeli officials claimed were linked to the country’s nuclear program and its support for proxy militias in the Middle East. The strikes reportedly resulted in significant damage and casualties, though exact figures remain unconfirmed.

Saudi Arabia’s response underscores its complex relationship with both Israel and Iran. While Riyadh has been cautious in its diplomatic engagements with Tehran, it has also been exploring closer ties with Israel, particularly in the wake of the Abraham Accords. However, Saudi officials have consistently maintained that any normalization of relations with Israel is contingent upon progress in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The airstrikes have sparked a flurry of diplomatic activity, with calls for restraint from various international actors, including the United Nations and the European Union. The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, urged both nations to avoid further escalation and engage in dialogue to resolve their differences.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
