Saudi Arabia strongly condemns the Iranian attack on the Gulf states and Jordan
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its strongest condemnation of the Iranian aggression targeting the sovereignty of several brotherly Arab states, namely the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The Kingdom considered this act a blatant violation of international laws and norms, and a serious threat to the security and stability of the region.
A firm Saudi stance towards the security of the region
This firm Saudi stance stems from the Kingdom's leading and pivotal role in protecting Arab national security, and reaffirms the principle of shared destiny that unites the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and the Arab world. In its statement, the Kingdom emphasized that any infringement upon the sovereignty of any sister nation is a direct attack on the security of Saudi Arabia, and that the security of the Gulf states and Jordan is an integral and indivisible part of the regional security system.
The repercussions of the violations on regional stability
This attack constitutes a dangerous escalation that threatens international peace and security, given the paramount strategic importance of the Arabian Gulf region and Jordan. The region is not only a vital artery for global energy supplies, but also a cornerstone of stability in the Middle East. Observers believe that such violations of national sovereignty could fuel conflicts and exacerbate tensions at a time when countries in the region and the world are striving to promote dialogue and de-escalation.
Historical background and the need to respect good neighborliness
Historically, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states have consistently called on Iran to adhere to the principles of good neighborliness, cease interfering in the internal affairs of Arab states, and respect national sovereignty. This incident is yet another link in a chain of tensions that the region has witnessed, requiring a serious international response to ensure that such transgressions, which blatantly disregard the UN Charter and international laws governing relations between states, are not repeated.
A call for the international community to assume its responsibilities
In concluding its statement, Saudi Arabia called upon the international community and the Security Council to fulfill their responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security, and to take deterrent measures that guarantee respect for the sovereignty of states and prevent any hostile actions that could drag the region into dangerous situations. The Kingdom affirms its continued solidarity with its brothers in the Gulf Cooperation Council and Jordan in repelling any aggression and protecting the resources and achievements of the region's peoples.
