Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud strongly condemned the Israeli occupation’s recent attacks on Iranian territory, labeling them a clear violation of Iran’s sovereignty and a blatant breach of international law.

Speaking on Saturday during the opening session of the 51st meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), held in Istanbul, bin Farhan urged an immediate halt to all military operations in the region.

He warned against any further steps that could push the Middle East into deeper instability and escalation, stressing the urgent need for restraint and dialogue to prevent a wider conflict.

The Saudi foreign minister also reaffirmed Riyadh's what he described as "unwavering support for the Palestinian cause". He reiterated Saudi Arabia’s long-standing and firm position in defense of the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights, describing it as a "steadfast and unshakable" commitment.

'Islamic world backs Iran'

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman strongly condemned "Israel’s" attacks on Iran on Sunday and expressed condolences for the Iranian lives lost.

In a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Bin Salman declared, “Saudi Arabia stands with its brothers in Iran and will spare no effort to support them,” emphasizing that “the entire Islamic world is united in backing Iran.”

The Crown Prince stressed that Riyadh was using all diplomatic channels to pressure for an end to Israeli aggression, warning that "Israel’s" actions were aimed at escalating tensions and creating a pretext for US intervention. “A wise and measured response from the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he said, “will prevent them from seizing that opportunity.”

President Pezeshkian, in turn, accused "Israel" of sabotaging every effort Iran has made toward regional peace and stability. He thanked Bin Salman for Saudi Arabia’s cooperation in serving pilgrims and called for greater unity among Islamic nations to counter what he described as the Israeli regime’s crimes, especially in Gaza.

Iran-Saudi diplomatic restoration

In March 2023, Iran and Saudi Arabia signed a landmark agreement in Beijing to restore diplomatic ties after years of strained relations. The Chinese-brokered deal included commitments to reopen embassies and respect each other’s sovereignty.

The accord marked a significant shift in Middle Eastern diplomacy, paving the way for renewed cooperation on a range of regional issues. Both nations have since taken cautious but deliberate steps toward reconciliation, and Iranian officials have consistently voiced a desire to protect this progress.
