Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the United Nations Security Council’s adoption of Resolution 2817, which was submitted by the Kingdom together with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Jordan.
The resolution strongly condemns the dreadful attacks carried out by Iran against the territories of the Gulf States and Jordan, and affirms that these actions constitute a violation of international law and pose a serious threat to international peace and security.
Saudi Arabia expressed its support for the resolution’s clauses, particularly its condemnation of attacks on residential areas and civilian objects, the resulting civilian casualties, and the damage inflicted on civilian infrastructure. Saudi Arabia also reaffirmed its solidarity with the affected countries and their peoples.
The Saudi Ministry highlighted the broad international backing for the resolution, as well as the widespread global condemnation of these flagrant Iranian attacks. It called for their immediate and unconditional cessation and urged an end to any form of provocation or threats against neighboring states, including actions carried out through proxy actors.
The Kingdom reaffirmed the principles outlined in the resolution and stressed that it retains its full right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and to deter further aggression, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
