Saudi Arabia on Saturday strongly condemned an Iranian drone attack targeting Bahrain, describing it as a violation of international law and the UN Charter. In a statement, the Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the attack undermined international efforts to restore security and stability in the region.
Saudi Arabia's Response
The ministry reaffirmed Saudi Arabia's solidarity with Bahrain and expressed its full support for all measures taken by the Kingdom to safeguard its sovereignty, security and stability. Bahrain condemned the attacks, its state news agency reported, saying it reserved the full right to defend its sovereignty and security.
Iran's Stance
Iran said earlier it had carried out strikes against targets linked to US forces in the region, without identifying the targets or saying where they were located. The attack has heightened tensions in the Gulf region.
