Iran’s top diplomat urges Saudi Arabia to evict US forces from its territory, reiterating the claim that Iran’s attacks in the region only target its enemies.

“Iran respects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and considers it a brotherly nation,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi writes on X. “Our operations are aimed at enemy aggressors who have no respect for Arabs or Iranians, nor can provide any security… High time to eject US forces.”

Iran has repeatedly fired salvos at Saudi Arabia during tis war with the US and Israel.
