The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has expressed deep concern over the recent targeting of Iranian nuclear facilities by the United States, calling for de-escalation and a diplomatic resolution to the unfolding crisis.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday, June 22, 2025, the Kingdom reaffirmed its earlier position, as outlined in a June 13 declaration, strongly condemning what it described as a violation of Iran’s sovereignty.
“The Kingdom underscores the need to exert all possible efforts to exercise restraint, de-escalate tensions, and avoid further escalation,” the statement read.
Saudi Arabia also called on the international community to intensify efforts to reach a political solution during what it described as a “highly sensitive period,” emphasizing the urgency of restoring peace and stability in the region.
The remarks come in response to U.S. airstrikes confirmed by President Donald Trump, which targeted Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear facilities.
