Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — Saudi Arabia on Friday strongly condemned the Israeli strikes on Iranian territory, calling them a blatant violation of Iran’s sovereignty and a breach of international law and norms.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom’s deep concern over what it described as “heinous attacks,” emphasizing that the international community — particularly the UN Security Council — bears a major responsibility to immediately stop this aggression and prevent further escalation.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan held urgent phone calls on Friday with his counterparts: Iran’s Abbas Araghchi, Jordan’s Ayman Safadi, and Egypt’s Badr Abdelatty, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

During his call with Araghchi, Prince Faisal reaffirmed the Kingdom’s condemnation of the Israeli assault on Iranian soil and reiterated Saudi Arabia’s firm rejection of the use of force in resolving disputes.

He stressed the importance of dialogue and diplomacy as the only viable path to address regional tensions.

The Saudi foreign minister warned that the Israeli strikes risk undermining ongoing efforts to reduce tensions and pursue diplomatic solutions across the region.
