Saudi Arabia expels Iran military attache, four embassy staff
"Saudi Arabia has given Iran's military attache and embassy staff 24 hours to leave the kingdom due to repeated Iranian attacks on its territory, declaring them personae non gratae."
"The move comes amid the US-Israeli war on Iran, which has seen Tehran target Saudi Arabia and its Gulf neighbours hosting US military assets with increasingly damaging attacks."
"Saudi Arabia, which holds the world's second-largest proven crude oil reserves, has come under attack by hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones since the start of the war."
"Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud stated that trust in Iran had been shattered, emphasizing the country's right to defend itself."
Saudi Arabia has expelled Iranian military personnel following a drone strike on the Yanbu port, its main oil export outlet. This action comes after Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz, leading to increased Iranian attacks on Saudi territory. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared the Iranian military attache and several staff members personae non gratae. The ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran has intensified attacks on Saudi Arabia, disrupting oil loadings and threatening regional stability. Saudi Arabia asserts its right to defend itself amid these escalating tensions.
