Saudi Arabia on Sunday strongly condemned Iranian aerial attacks on Bahrain, calling for an immediate end to Tehran’s attacks against countries across the region.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Kingdom’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its strongest condemnation of the attacks and reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s full solidarity with Bahrain.
The ministry said the Kingdom supports all measures taken by Bahrain to safeguard its security and stability.
“ The Kingdom affirms that the Iranian attacks constitute a violation of international law and the principles of good neighborliness,” the statement said.
Saudi Arabia also stressed the need to immediately halt what it described as Iran’s “blatant attacks” against countries in the region, calling for serious steps to ensure regional security and stability.
Bahrain Says Air Defenses Intercepted Iranian Attacks
The Saudi statement came after Bahrain’s Defense Force announced earlier Sunday that its air defense systems had intercepted Iranian aerial attacks before they could reach their intended targets.
Bahraini state television also reported that the Kingdom’s air defenses had intercepted and destroyed Iranian drones.
Earlier Sunday, air raid sirens sounded across Bahrain, prompting authorities to urge residents to take shelter and follow official safety instructions.
