Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman declared the security of the Gulf region "indivisible" following a series of attacks linked to Iran and its allies. The attacks, including missile and drone strikes, have been carried out by Iran-backed groups such as Yemen's Houthi rebels. Prince Mohammed emphasized that Saudi Arabia would respond firmly to any threats to its security, while striving to prevent escalation and maintain diplomatic solutions.
He expressed Saudi Arabia's commitment to working with its fellow GCC members to safeguard regional security, promote strategic cooperation, and enhance economic integration. The Crown Prince also highlighted the recent establishment of the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, aimed at bolstering regional security and coordinating responses to instability.
This comes as Gulf states face ongoing threats from Iran and its proxies, particularly the Houthi militia, which has launched attacks on Saudi Arabia and disrupted key trade routes in the Red Sea.
