The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom’s condemnation on Wednesday of Iran’s targeting of the Saudi tanker “Sadr” as it transited the Strait of Hormuz, and the resulting fatalities among the tanker’s crew.

In a statement, the ministry said the Kingdom also condemned Iranian attacks that targeted Kuwait, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and the Kingdom of Bahrain, reaffirming its full support and solidarity with these sister states in their measures to ensure the protection of their security and sovereignty from any threats.

It stressed the necessity of halting escalation, respecting the security and safety of international navigation, the security of global energy supplies, the principles of good neighborliness, state sovereignty, the UN Charter, and international law and customs.

The Kingdom called on all parties to de-escalate, halt escalation, respect international law, and return to negotiations and peaceful solutions.
