Saudi Arabia condemns ‘military targeting’ of Iran as violation of its sovereignty

Saudi Arabia has condemned the “military targeting” of Iran as a “violation of its sovereignty” and international laws, Reuters reports citing its state media.

“The Kingdom affirms its unwavering position in its rejection of the continued escalation in the region and the expansion of the conflict that threatens the security and stability of the countries and people of the region,” the statement said.

It urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint and called on the international community to take action towards de-escalation and ending conflicts in the region.

The statement, however, did not mention Israel, which has claimed conducting “precision strikes” in Iran.
