Saudi Arabia reserves right to military action against Iran, foreign minister says

Saudi Arabia warns Iran that its tolerance for missile and drone attacks is limited and reserves the right to military action if necessary, after intercepting most attacks, Foreign Minister said.

  • On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia intercepted four ballistic missiles targeting Riyadh as scattered debris fell across the capital; authorities reported no casualties or damage.
  • The attacks occurred amid a regional war between Iran and the US-Israeli coalition that began on February 28; Iran claimed the strikes retaliated for earlier hits on its South Pars gas field.
  • Elsewhere in the Gulf, Iranian missiles caused 'extensive damage' to Qatar's Ras Laffan Industrial City, while the United Arab Emirates intercepted 13 ballistic missiles and 27 drones at its facilities.
  • Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal warned Iran to 'recalculate quickly,' stating trust is 'shattered' and that the kingdom reserves the right to take military actions if deemed necessary.
  • Foreign ministers collectively urged Iran to 'immediately and unconditionally' halt attacks, warning of 'serious consequences' for violating sovereignty and threatening regional stability in the Middle East.
