Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Military Strikes on Iran, Calling for De-escalation

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s recent military attacks on Iran, labeling them as violations of Iranian sovereignty and breaches of international law. The Saudi Foreign Ministry’s statement on Saturday emphasized the kingdom’s denunciation of the attacks, which they argue undermine Iran’s territorial integrity and contradict international norms.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Saudi Foreign Ministry expressed its firm opposition to the continued escalation of conflict and the spread of violence in the region. The statement warned that such actions pose a significant threat to regional security and stability. Saudi Arabia urged all involved parties to exercise maximum restraint and engage in efforts to reduce tensions immediately.

The Israeli military announced on Saturday that it had conducted targeted airstrikes on Iranian military installations. These actions were described as a response to Iran’s large-scale ballistic missile attack on Israel, which occurred on October
1. In response, Iran has stated its readiness to retaliate against what it calls Israeli “aggression.”

Saudi Arabia’s call for de-escalation reflects broader concerns about the potential for further regional instability. The kingdom cautioned about the consequences of ongoing military confrontations and emphasized the need for immediate efforts to de-escalate the situation.
