Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that Riyadh will not allow its airspace or territory to be used for military action against Tehran, amid mounting regional tension.
In a phone call on Tuesday with Mr Pezeshkian, Prince Mohammed affirmed his country's support for any "efforts that would resolve differences through dialogue" to bolster security and stability in the region, Saudi state news agency SPA reported.
During the call, Mr Pezeshkian condemned US "threats" and said they were “aimed at disrupting the security of the region, and will achieve nothing other than instability", his office said.
Prince Mohammed's declaration comes days after a similar one issued by the UAE that it would not allow any military action against Iran using its airspace or territorial waters.
US President Donald Trump said another "armada" was on its way towards Iran and that he hoped Tehran would make a deal with Washington. “There is another beautiful armada floating beautifully toward Iran right now,” he said.
