Saudi Arabia has once again firmly rejected Iran's attacks on civilian and vital infrastructure, notably a power and water desalination facility in Kuwait.

In a statement on Saturday, the Foreign Ministry condemned in the strongest terms Iran's continued attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, reaffirming the Kingdom's full support for the three countries in the measures they take in response to the Iranian attacks, which violate international law and the principles of good neighborliness.

Saudi Arabia stressed the urgency of ceasing all forms of military escalation to safeguard regional peace and stability for its peoples.

The statement reiterates Saudi Arabia's support for its allies in the face of Iranian aggression. The attacks on power and water desalination plants highlight the vulnerability of critical infrastructure in the region. The call for an immediate halt to military escalation reflects Saudi Arabia's interest in preventing further destabilization.
