Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry condemned Iranian missile attacks on its territory Saturday, hours after U.S. and Israeli strikes targeted top Iranian leaders.

Officials affirmed the right to take all necessary measures, including responding to the aggression, while offering support to other affected nations. Social media buzzed with unverified claims of Saudi military pledges, but official statements stuck to a defensive posture as oil prices surged on escalation fears.

Key Takeaway

Missiles rained down on Riyadh and Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, but defenses held firm with no casualties reported. The kingdom quickly summoned Iran's ambassador, signaling a firm stand amid the chaos.
