The Saudi Foreign Ministry expressed concerns over the “recent military escalations” in the region and their “potential severe repercussions” following Iranian drone and missile attacks directed at Israel, according to a statement published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on X Sunday.

“The Ministry reaffirms the Kingdom's position that stresses the need for the (UN) Security Council to take responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, especially in this highly sensitive region for global peace and security,” the Saudi ministry added.

The ministry stressed the importance of “preventing any further exacerbation” of the crisis, warning of “dire consequences” should the situation worsen.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a warning to the United States, asserting that any support or participation in actions against Iran's interests will be met with a decisive response.

The IRGC said it held the US responsible for what it termed the "evil actions" of the Israeli government.

“Any threat by the terrorist state of America and the Zionist regime from any country will be followed by a reciprocal and proportional response from the Islamic Republic of Iran to the source of the threat,” the IRGC said.

US air defense systems in the Middle East have intercepted some Iranian drones targeting Israel.
