As the war between the US-backed Israel and Iran in the East continues on its 20th day, Saudi Arabia has issued a warning in response to Iran's retaliatory attacks. Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan stated, "Iran is making a miscalculation if it thinks that the Gulf countries do not have the capacity to respond."
After the extraordinary meeting held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, with the participation of foreign ministers from Arab and Islamic countries, statements were made.
Bin Farhan stated regarding Iran's attacks on Gulf countries, "Iran is miscalculating if it thinks that the Gulf countries will not be able to respond."
Emphasizing that trust has collapsed due to Iran's repeated attacks on regional countries and violations of good neighborly principles, Bin Farhan accused the Tehran administration of pursuing a "policy of intimidation" to achieve its goals.
Bin Farhan noted that the member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are in coordination against Iranian attacks, emphasizing that their priority is to "stop the attacks." Bin Farhan stated, "We will use all our political, economic, and diplomatic means to stop these attacks."
