Getty"The kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not want a war in the region nor does it seek that," the country's Foreign Minister told reporters on Sunday. The Iranian regime has directly and through its proxies sought to provoke unrest and supported terrorist and extremist groups and organizations. Over the past decades, the countries of the region have suffered from the crimes of the Iranian regime and its interventions which are too numerous to count." The recent tanker and pipeline attacks have panicked Saudi Arabia with a fear that its economic lifeblood is more vulnerable than before. The Kingdom affirms that if the other side chooses war, the Kingdom will respond firmly and decisively, and it will defend Itself and its interests."
