Riyadh denounces “failures” of the international community in the face of war

Denunciating the “unjustifiable Iranian aggressions” directed against Saudi Arabia and the countries of the region, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhane deplored the “failures of the international community” in fulfilling his responsibility to address threats against international peace and security at a time when country faces attacks by Yemen’s pro-Iranian houthis.

“ The stability of this vital region is directly linked to global energy security,” he said.

At a time when oil exports from the country are being seriously affected by disturbances in the Straits of Ormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, following the Middle East war, Saudi Arabia also called for the protection of freedom of navigation.

“The protection of international navigation and supply chains is a shared responsibility that requires serious international cooperation,” said the head of Saudi diplomacy, referring to the two straits, as well as the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.
