News - Middle East: Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned Israel's “heinous attacks” against the “brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran” early Friday, urging the international community to immediately stop the aggression.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the blatant Israeli aggressions against the brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran, which undermine its sovereignty and security and constitute a clear violation of international laws and norms,” the kingdom’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

“While the Kingdom condemns these heinous attacks, it affirms that the international community and the Security Council bear a great responsibility to immediately halt this aggression,” it added.

The Sultanate of Oman also condemned the aggression against Iran, emphasizing that the Zionist regime is fully responsible for this “escalation of tension and its consequences.”

In a statement cited by the official news agency, Oman warned Friday that Israel’s military action has destroyed diplomatic opportunities and severely threatened the security and stability of the region.

Oman has been mediating the indirect talks between the United States and Iran which had been gearing up for the sixth round on Sunday.

The Omani statement strongly condemned the “barbaric military attack” by the Zionist regime on the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which targeted sovereign facilities and resulted in human casualties, describing it as a “dangerous, provocative and reckless” act that is a clear violation of the UN Charter and the principles of international law.

This act is a continuation of Israel’s aggressive policies, the statement said, calling on the international community to adopt a firm and clear stance against this dangerous path that sidesteps diplomatic solutions and threatens the foundations of regional security and stability.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel also strongly condemned the Israeli attacks, calling them an irresponsible escalation of tensions in the West Asian region.

He warned that the attacks pose unpredictable risks to regional and global peace and security.

The Venezuelan government also issued a statement condemning Israel's aggression on Iranian soil, describing it as part of the "black record of crimes by the Netanyahu regime."

Caracas stressed that the provocative act violates international law and contradicts the peace-loving logic of the international community.
