Saudi Arabia Strongly Condemns Blatant Iranian Attack on US Embassy in Riyadh

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its strongest condemnation of the Iranian attack targeting the US Embassy in Riyadh. It affirmed that the repetition of this cowardly and unjustified attack blatantly violates all international norms and laws, including the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which grant immunity to diplomatic premises and personnel even during armed conflict.
 The Kingdom stressed that the recurrence of this flagrant Iranian behavior, despite Iranian authorities' knowledge that the Kingdom will not allow its airspace or territory to be used to target Iran, will push the region toward further escalation.
 The Kingdom reiterated its full right to take all necessary measures to protect its security, territorial integrity, citizens, residents, and vital interests, including the option of responding to the aggression.
