Saudi Arabia has sharply criticized Israel’s airstrikes on Tehran that left several senior Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists dead, labeling the operation a “blatant violation” of international law. The statement, issued by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasized the attacks’ threat to regional stability and Iran’s sovereignty.
Calling the airstrikes a breach of international norms, Riyadh expressed solidarity with Iran, describing it as a “brotherly” nation and urged immediate global intervention. “The international community and the Security Council bear a great responsibility to immediately halt this aggression,” the Kingdom said, calling for swift action to prevent further escalation.

The airstrikes, which killed key Iranian figures including Major General Mohammad Bagheri, IRGC Chief Hossein Salami, and two nuclear scientists, have drawn widespread regional and international concern. The Iranian government holds both Israel and the United States responsible, claiming the attacks were coordinated with American knowledge — a claim partially acknowledged by former President Donald Trump, who confirmed he was aware of the strike in advance.
With U.S. forces now on high alert and Iran vowing retaliation under the UN Charter, Saudi Arabia’s public condemnation marks a notable diplomatic stance amid its delicate balancing act between Israel and Iran. The Kingdom’s appeal to global institutions reflects growing fears of a broader conflict in the region.
