Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Sunday the “flagrant” Iranian attack against Oman, saying it was a blatant violation of its sovereignty.
It stressed its full solidarity with Oman and readiness to place all its capabilities at the Sultanate's disposal in support of any measures it may take.
It warned of the serious consequences of Iran’s continued violations of the sovereignty of nations, which undermine the security and stability of the region.
Saudi Arabia called on the international community to take firm positions and decisive measures against Iranian violations.
Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi also condemned the attack on Oman.
"These assaults constitute a flagrant violation of the Sultanate of Oman’s sovereignty and a dangerous escalation that undermines regional security and stability, while threatening the safety of maritime navigation and global energy supplies," he stressed.
Albudaiwi said that “the treacherous military operations launched by Iran against the council states reflect its intentions toward the GCC and the region at large.”
The GCC states had previously conveyed assurances to the Iranian regime, through various meetings and occasions, that they would not permit the use of their territories or airspace for any military operations against Iran, he added.
He stressed that Iran’s targeting of civilian facilities is a major breach of international law, the United Nations Charter, and the principles of good neighborliness.
Albudaiwi underscored the GCC’s full solidarity with Oman in all measures it takes to protect its sovereignty and safeguard its security and stability, reiterating the council’s rejection of all forms of aggression targeting the security of its member states.
