Saudi Arabia on Thursday condemned “repeated” Iranian attacks targeting Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, warning that continued violations of the sovereignty of neighboring states would further increase tensions in the region.
In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry denounced the attacks against the three countries and reiterated the kingdom’s rejection of actions that threaten regional stability.
It warned that continued attacks on the sovereignty of neighboring countries risk aggravating the already tense situation in the region.
Riyadh called for restraint, avoiding further escalation and prioritizing diplomatic efforts to resolve the current crisis.
It also urged the continuation of negotiations sponsored by Pakistan and supported by Qatar, saying the talks offer a path toward preventing a return to war.
According to the statement, resuming diplomatic efforts would help restore security and stability in the region and contribute to global peace and security.
