Saudi Foreign Ministry: After Iran's attack on the U.S. Embassy building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia reserves the right to take retaliatory measures
"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia strongly condemns and rejects Iran's blatant attack on the U.S. Embassy building in Riyadh.
The Kingdom reiterates that this unprovoked and despicable attack seriously violates all international law principles, including the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations - these conventions stipulate that diplomatic premises and personnel should enjoy immunity even during armed conflicts.
The Kingdom emphasized that Iran is aware that Saudi Arabia has announced that its airspace and territory will not be used to launch attacks against Iran, yet it still made such provocative actions again, which would push the region towards further escalation.
The Kingdom once again reaffirms that it has an inalienable right to take any necessary measures to safeguard its national security, territorial integrity, citizens, residents, and core interests, including the right to respond to aggression."
