Alireza Enayati wrote on his X on Friday, “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia remains committed to its stance in support of de-escalation and preventing further escalation of tensions, as well as supporting negotiations and efforts in this regard.”
The Iranian Ambassador added, “Caution should be exercised regarding what is attributed in the media to anonymous sources—some of whom are claimed to be Saudi—which contradicts this position.”
The Ambassador’s remarks come as a Saudi official confirmed that the Kingdom has not granted any permission for the use of its airspace to support U.S.-led offensive military operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Furthermore, a Saudi source told Al-Hadath that reports published by the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal regarding the opening of Saudi and Kuwaiti airspace to U.S. aircraft are “incorrect,” a point also emphasized by other Saudi officials.
The Saudi source suggested that “certain parties are seeking to distort the image of Saudi Arabia’s position for unknown reasons.”
