Saudi Arabia condemns Iran’s attacks on Gulf nations, offers ‘all its capabilities’ in the fight against Tehran

Saudi Arabia said it’s ready to put “all its capabilities” at its allies’ disposal, warning of “grave consequences” if retaliatory Iranian strikes continue — sparking fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.

It comes after the Islamic Republic launched a barrage of missiles on US military bases in Saudia Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE and Jordan — in retaliation for US and Israel military strikes against Tehran overnight.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemns and denounces in strongest terms the blatant Iranian aggression,” the Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry said on a statement on X Saturday.

Iranian strikes targeted the Saudi capital, Riyadh, the ministry said.

“These attacks cannot be justified under any pretext or in any way whatsoever, and they came despite the Iranian authorities’ knowledge that the Kingdom had affirmed it would not allow its airspace or territory to be used to target Iran.”

“The Kingdom affirms its full solidarity with and unwavering support for the brotherly countries, and its readiness to place all its capabilities at their disposal in support of any measures they may undertake,” it added.

“It also warns of the grave consequences resulting from the continued violation of states’ sovereignty and the principles of international law.”

Looks like Iran has no allies in The Big Sandbox.

Prolly has to look to China, North Korea and Russia for help.

I’ll bet ya they’re more scared than they are on our side. Their 2k or so royal family is worried about becoming the 2nd version of the Tsars in Russia. bin Laden would have won an election there.

Y’all don’t attack civilians. Government people only.
Seems easy enough. But Moslems aren’t known for
being smart, just known to be suicidal religious
idiots.

I've seen video on X of a large explosion alleged to have been at the U.S. Naval Base in Bahrain.

If true, this is big.

I've seen a couple of reports that base was mostly empty at the time of the attack. Time will tell...

Donald Trump’s overtures to repair and strengthen ties with Saudi Ariabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are paying dividends.

No love lost between the Ayatollahs and Saudi Arabia.

I'm on West Coast time. Trying to get caught up!

And it seems I've got a lot of catching up to do, not to mention with what's currently happening.

Big News Day today, that's for damn sure.

Huh - I was out on a motorcycle ride much of yesterday.

Seems I missed out on a whole lot of fun. Saw it this morning over breakfast.

I try to keep up but some days it’s just “Screw It - goin’ Riding”.
