Saudi Arabia warns against continued closure of Hormuz

 

Saudi Arabia sharply condemned attacks reported earlier on Qatari, Kuwaiti and Emirati territories, warning against further escalation in the region and any move to shut the Strait of Hormuz.

In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry called for an “immediate halt to the blatant attacks on the territories and territorial waters of the Gulf states, and to any attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz.”

The statement followed a series of incidents across the region.

The UAE said its air defences intercepted two drones launched from Iran, Kuwait reported “hostile drones” in its airspace and Qatar said a cargo ship was targeted in its territorial waters.
