Saudi Arabia Condemns Iran’s Violation Of Iraq’s Sovereignty, Calls For Calm

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has condemned Iran’s retaliatory attacks on an Iraqi basement that houses United States troops as well as other coalition forces.

Saudi’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs disclosed this on Thursday.

“As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been following-up the events in the brotherly Republic of Iraq, on which the Kingdom has issued statements, and in light of the developments in which Iran targeted two Iraqi military bases where the International Coalition Forces to Fight ISIS were present, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemns these attacks and denounces their violation of the Iraqi sovereignty.”

As reported in Saudi Press Agency, “the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia calls again for the need to exercise restraint by all parties and avoid escalation in order to maintain security and stability of the brotherly Iraq and the region.”

Recall that the US president, Donald Trump had ordered the US airstrike which killed the military leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, ‎Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad.

Iran also retaliated by launching dozens of rockets at two military bases in Iraq, vowing a “harsh response” for the US.

Donald Trump also said on Wednesday, that he would put Iran under severe sanctions, ensuring that they do not possess nuclear weapons.
