RIYADH: Luigi Di Maio, the EU’s special representative for the Gulf, has condemned Iran’s ongoing attacks on Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, and has pledged that Europe stands “at their disposal” with intelligence and other tools to help defend the region. In an interview with Arab News in Riyadh following the extraordinary EU-GCC ministerial meeting of March 5, Di Maio stressed that the bloc “strongly condemned the unjustifiable Iranian attacks against the GCC countries” and fully backed the Kingdom’s right to self-defense.
