Riyadh, March 12 (QNA) – The Saudi Foreign Ministry welcomed the Security Council’s adoption of Resolution 2817, which condemns in the strongest terms the egregious attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran against the territories of the Gulf States and Jordan, and determines that such acts constitute a breach of international law and a serious threat to international peace and security.

In a statement, the Ministry said that the Kingdom welcomes the provisions of the resolution, including the condemnation of the attacks on residential areas and the targeting of civilian objects, the resulting civilian casualties, and the damage to civilian buildings, and expresses its solidarity with these countries and their peoples.

The Foreign Ministry noted the international support the resolution received and the international condemnations of these flagrant Iranian attacks, demanding their immediate and unconditional cessation, and an end to any provocation or threat against neighboring States, including the use of proxies.

It added that the Kingdom affirms what is stated in the resolution and retains its full right to take measures that ensure the protection of its security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity and deter aggression, as recognized by Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. (QNA)
