Saudi Arabia has welcomed the ceasefire between Iran and Israel, which was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump late Monday night. The Saudi Foreign Ministry praised all international efforts to reduce tensions and prevent further violence. It shared the official statement on Tuesday through its social media and diplomatic channels.
The conflict between Iran and Israel began on June 13 and lasted for nearly two weeks. During this time, both countries launched hundreds of missiles at each other. The attacks caused many deaths, including top Iranian military and nuclear officials. Civilians in both Iran and Israel also lost their lives, raising fears of a wider war.
Saudi Arabia, in its statement, thanked the U.S. for its mediation role. The Kingdom said it supports every step taken to end bloodshed in the region. It also asked both countries to stay committed to the ceasefire and avoid any actions that might restart the conflict. Saudi leaders called this a chance to restore calm and protect the region from more damage.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry further said that the use of force must stop. It asked all countries to avoid threats and instead use peaceful talks. The Kingdom believes that only diplomacy and mutual respect can solve such serious issues. It stressed that true peace comes from cooperation, not conflict.
Finally, Saudi Arabia repeated its position on solving regional disputes through dialogue. The statement said peaceful talks support not just safety, but also growth and prosperity. The Kingdom hopes that the Iran-Israel ceasefire becomes a turning point for long-term peace and regional stability.
