Saudi Arabia strongly condemned Israel’s recent military agression on Iranian positions in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces, calling the attacks a “violation of Iran’s sovereignty” and an infringement of international laws.
The Israeli strikes, which targeted military installations, caused limited damage according to Iranian officials, but have heightened tensions across the region.
In response to the situation, Saudi Arabia urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint, warning of the dangers of further escalation in a region already plagued by conflicts.
The kingdom emphasized the need for diplomatic solutions and called on the international community to intervene in mediating between the parties involved.
Iran’s air defense systems were able to successfully intercept much of the aggression, though the strikes have renewed concerns about a broader conflict.
Tehran has vowed a proportional response to the Israeli actions, raising fears of a possible retaliatory cycle that could destabilize the region further.
The Israeli attack comes as Iran continues to be a central player in the ongoing conflicts across the Middle East, including its support for Palestinian groups amidst the Gaza crisis.
Saudi Arabia’s condemnation reflects its concerns over the regional fallout from these actions and its efforts to position itself as a mediator seeking stability.
