RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran early on Friday, targeting multiple sites related to the country’s nuclear program and killing Hossein Salami, the chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), along with another top Guard official and two nuclear scientists.

The Kingdom “expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the blatant Israeli aggressions against the brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran, which undermine its sovereignty and security and constitute a clear violation of international laws and norms,” a statement from Saudi foreign ministry said.

The statement also restated that the “international community and the Security Council bears a “great responsibility to halt this immediate aggression.”
