Saudi Arabia strongly condemns Iran's aggression against Qatar
Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned and denounced the aggression launched by Iran against Qatar, describing it as a blatant violation of international law and the principles of good neighbourliness. The Kingdom asserted that such actions are unacceptable and unjustifiable under any circumstances.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Kingdom affirmed its full solidarity and unwavering support for the State of Qatar, pledging to place all its capabilities at Qatar's disposal to assist in any measures it may take.
Jassim Mohammed Al-Budaiwi, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), also condemned the missile attack on Monday evening.
He affirmed that this attack constitutes a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar and a direct threat to the security of all GCC states. He reiterated that the security of the GCC states is indivisible, and that the Council stands united with Qatar in confronting any threat to its security and territorial integrity.
Iran's military said it carried out a missile attack on the Al Udeid U.S. airbase in Qatar on Monday after explosions were heard across the Qatari capital following Tehran's threat to retaliate for U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear sites.
