Saudi MFA: Strikes on Iraq after diplomacy
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the strikes carried out against targets of Iran-backed militias in Iraq came in response to recent attacks on the Kingdom. They were conducted as a right to self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. These strikes followed an escalation by the militias in Iraq, who used drone attacks targeting vital infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, amidst Saudi efforts to de-escalate regional tensions. Riyadh noted that the military operations were specific and coordinated with the U.S. Central Command, emphasizing that Saudi Arabia does not seek escalation but will respond decisively to any future attacks, especially as tensions between the United States and Iran in the region continue to rise.
