RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 13, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Riyadh, once a rival of Tehran before reconciling about two years ago, condemned a wave of strikes that Israel said it launched Friday against nuclear and military sites in Iran.

"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 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," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
