Trump condemns missile attacks in call with Crown Prince, expresses support for the Kingdom
His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received a telephone call today from His Excellency President Donald Trump, President of the United States of America, during which they discussed the latest security developments in the region and the threats targeting the security and stability of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
During the call, the US President expressed the United States' strong condemnation of the blatant missile attacks against the Kingdom, while also praising the efficiency of the Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces, which successfully intercepted and destroyed these missiles before they could reach their hostile targets. Trump emphasized that these attacks not only target the Kingdom but also threaten global energy supplies and regional stability.
In reaffirming the strategic partnership between the two countries, the US President emphasized Washington's unwavering support for Riyadh, expressing his country's full backing for all measures taken by the Kingdom to protect its territory, citizens, and residents. He also stressed the need for concerted international efforts to confront Iran's ongoing violations, which he described as the primary driver of instability and insecurity in the Middle East.
This contact comes at a time of escalating tensions in the region due to the continued supply of ballistic missiles and drones to militias, a clear violation of relevant international resolutions. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia consistently affirms its legitimate right to self-defense and continues to call upon the international community to uphold its responsibilities in halting the flow of Iranian weapons that fuel conflicts.
This call reflects the depth of the historical and strategic relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States, with security and military cooperation being a cornerstone of this decades-long partnership. Observers believe the firm American stance sends a clear message to the Iranian regime and its proxies in the region that any threat to the Kingdom's security will be met with a resolute international response, given Saudi Arabia's pivotal role in maintaining global economic and political stability.
