The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its strongest rejection and condemnation of the blatant and cowardly Iranian attacks targeting Riyadh and Eastern regions, all of which were repelled.

The Kingdom emphasized that these attacks cannot be justified under any pretext, especially as they occurred despite Iranian authorities' full awareness that Saudi Arabia had affirmed it would not allow its airspace or territory to be used to target Iran.

In light of this unjustified aggression, the Kingdom affirmed that it will take all necessary measures to defend its security and protect its territory, citizens, and residents, including the option of responding to the aggression, SPA reported.

Arab nations won't lift a finger to stop the US or Israel.

This is what means the Islamic Republic is done. They live in a neighborhood where everyone hates them... including their own citizens.

1. Iran hasn't been making a lot of friends in the Arab world

in recent years. Or anywhere else for that matter. No one will come to their defense.

2. Didn't the Arabs become more extremist becsuse of the Iranian revolution ?

They viewed it as a challenge to their role as leaders of the Muslim world.

That's the more modern stuff but the conflict goes back further with the whole Sunni v Shia thing.

3. In the last 20 years the Arabs are trying to integrate globally and leaving extremism in the past...

5. Their populations are not as "liberal". Iran is the opposite with an extremist govt while most people

are liberal and don't even consider themselves to be Muslim.

4. Just wait until Ras Tanura goes up in oil smoke.

It’s the main Saudi ARAMCO oil terminal and refinery just across the Gulf.

6. Not surprising

Iran and SA have been battling each other for unofficial leadership in the Middle East for a very long time.

More recently, Iran's missteps with its proxies and conflicts with Israel have left them with no friends in the region, save the Houthis.
