Saudi Arabia will do its best to avoid war in the region but stands ready to respond with “all strength and determination,” following last week’s attacks on Saudi oil tankers and installations, a senior official said on Sunday.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir, speaking at a news conference, accused Iran of seeking to destabilise the region and urged the international community to take responsibility to stop the Islamic republic from doing so.
KSA to convene Arab leaders over recent attacks
Saudi Arabia’s King Salman invited Gulf and Arab leaders to convene emergency summits to discuss the implications of this week’s attacks against the kingdom and neighbouring United Arab Emirates, the foreign ministry said on Saturday.
The meetings are set for May 30 in Mecca, the ministry said on Twitter.
Four commercial ships were sabotaged off the coast of the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, and two days later drones attacked oil installations west of the Saudi capital Riyadh.
