"Our patience has its limits": Saudi Arabia warns Iran
The minister of Saudi Arabia and its allies expressed readiness to attack Iran if necessary.
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud called on Iran to stop attacks against Gulf states, stating that the patience of the region's countries is limited. This was reported by Al Jazeera.
The minister emphasized that the strikes being carried out by Iran are premeditated and well-planned, and that Saudi Arabia and its allies are prepared to use their significant military capabilities if necessary.
He did not provide specific details on the circumstances under which a response would be given. However, he noted that Tehran should take this as a serious warning.
This statement came after a meeting in the Saudi capital with the participation of foreign ministers from Arab and Islamic states. The meeting discussed the expanding war in the region and security threats.
Earlier, reports had circulated that Iran had struck energy facilities in the Gulf, including the Ras Laffan industrial city and the UAE's gas infrastructure.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps explained these attacks as a response to Israel's strike on the South Pars gas field.
The Saudi side also announced that missiles launched by Iran had been intercepted by air defense systems.
According to officials, even if the war ends, restoring relations with Iran will take a long time. The Saudi Foreign Minister stated that trust has almost completely disappeared and called on Tehran to urgently reconsider its policy without escalating the situation.
