JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, on Monday held a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Jeddah and discussed the latest developments in the region, particularly the repercussions of the military escalation in the Middle East.
During the meeting, they also reviewed the aspects of relations between the two nations, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The two sides reviewed recent developments in the region, focusing on the consequences of escalating military tensions in the Middle East and their implications for both regional and global security.
They discussed coordinated measures to address these challenges effectively.
Both parties condemned the repeated hostile Iranian attacks on Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and the Kingdom of Jordan, noting that targeting critical infrastructure and civilian facilities constitutes a serious escalation that endangers regional stability.
The meeting was attended by several senior officials from both sides.
Earlier, Saudi Arabia condemned the latest Iranian attacks on Kuwait, which targeted a Kuwaiti Armed Forces camp and key infrastructure, including a power and water desalination plant.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry, in a statement on Monday, emphasised that these “cowardly attempts by Iran and its blatant conduct” toward the countries of the region confirm the continuation of an unjustifiable hostile approach under any circumstances.
“Such actions constitute a clear violation of international laws and norms, as well as the principles of good neighbourliness, and risk further escalation in the region,” it said.
The Middle East has remained on high alert since the United States and Israel launched a large-scale air offensive against Iran on February 28, resulting in the killing of the Iranian top leadership, including its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In response, Iran launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel, as well as several Gulf countries that are not part of the conflict.
