The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented its position on the escalation of the conflict on the X platform. Saudi Arabia has been thrown into conflict as Iran carries out attacks in response to airstrikes by Israel and the United States since February 28. Tehran is shelling not only Israel, but also other Middle Eastern countries, including members of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council.

What does the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs think about the Iranian president's statements?
“Saudi Arabia once again categorically condemns Iran's reprehensible aggression against the Kingdom, the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, several Arab and Islamic countries, as well as friendly countries. This aggression is unacceptable and unjustified in all circumstances,” reads the statement of the Ministry of Diplomacy.
The ministry particularly condemned Iran's strikes against civilian targets. The attacks targeted airports and key oil infrastructure in the region. Saudi diplomats described these actions as a gross violation of international law and a deliberate attempt to destabilize the region.

The ministry also warned that Iran itself would bear the heaviest consequences of its actions. The effects will cover the diplomatic, economic and strategic spheres. The purpose of the airstrikes on Iran conducted by Israel and the United States is to prevent the ayatollah regime from producing nuclear weapons and expanding its missile arsenal.
