Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry formally welcomed the US-Iran agreement to end military operations and begin 60-day negotiations toward a permanent deal, calling for any final agreement to respect regional states' security interests and the principle of non-interference.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry released a formal statement Monday welcoming the agreement between the United States and Iran that ends military operations and launches a 60-day framework for detailed negotiations aimed at a permanent settlement. The statement, carried by official channels, called on all parties to ensure that any lasting agreement takes into account the security interests of states across the region and respects the principle of non-interference in internal affairs.
This marks the second direct Saudi engagement with the emerging deal in less than an hour: as The Zioneer reported at 12:59, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud phoned his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi to congratulate him on the agreement — a gesture that signals Riyadh's intent to maintain direct diplomatic channels with Tehran as the MOU framework moves toward a signing stage. Earlier context items show several Gulf states, including Qatar and the UAE, have also issued formal welcomes, while Israel has expressed caution about preserving its operational freedom in Lebanon under any deal.
