Saudi Arabia will ban the use of airspace for attacks on Iran
Saudi Arabia will ban the use of its airspace for attacks on Iran. This was announced on January 27 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud during a telephone conversation with Iranian President Masoud Peseshkian.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reaffirmed the Kingdom's position respecting the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran and stressed that the Kingdom would not allow its airspace or territory to be used for any military action against the Islamic Republic of Iran," the Saudi News Agency (SPA) said in a statement.
The Prince also confirmed the Kingdom's support for any efforts aimed at resolving differences through dialogue in order to strengthen security and stability in the region.
Peseshkian expressed gratitude to Saudi Arabia for its firm position in respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
US President Donald Trump said on January 22 that the United States is closely monitoring the situation in Iran and is sending significant military forces, including ships, to the region. According to him, Washington warned Tehran about a possible US strike if the executions continued in the country, after which the Iranian authorities canceled them.
Prior to that, Trump noted that Iran needs a new government due to recent protests across the country. In his opinion, the authorities of the republic should "properly" govern the country, while the American leader cited himself as an example.
On January 24, Sky News TV channel quoted a senior Iranian official as saying that Iran would consider any attack as a full-scale war against it. At the same time, an Iranian representative told the channel that the US military buildup, in his opinion, may not be aimed at a real confrontation.
