Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, received a phone call on Wednesday from Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, where discussions focused on the latest developments in the region and the ongoing international efforts to address the situation.
Iran continues to carry out hostile attacks against Gulf countries and the wider region since February 28, in response to US and Israeli strikes. These actions have drawn widespread international condemnation along with expressions of solidarity with the affected countries.
On March 11, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution strongly condemning Iran’s continued attacks on Gulf countries and Jordan, describing them as violations of international law and a serious threat to international peace and security.
Security Council Resolution No. 2817, which was approved by 136 countries, affirmed the right of affected states to individual or collective self-defense, in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, and called on Tehran to immediately cease all attacks.
