Saudi Arabia Condemns Attack on Iranian Consulate in Damascus
In a strong statement released early Tuesday, Saudi Arabia denounced the targeting of the Iranian consulate building in Damascus, Syria. This comes after suspected Israeli warplanes bombed the consulate on Monday, resulting in the deaths of seven military advisers, including three senior commanders, as reported by Tehran.
The Saudi foreign ministry emphasized its firm rejection of targeting diplomatic facilities under any circumstances. The Kingdom views this attack as a clear violation of international diplomatic laws and the principles of diplomatic immunity.
Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Al-Budaiwi also condemned the attack, highlighting the importance of adhering to international laws, treaties, and diplomatic immunities in all circumstances.
