Within the Middle East, the ministry of foreign affairs of Saudi Arabia — a regional ally of the U.S., which only revived relations with Iran in March 2023 after a seven-year diplomatic rift — said it is following developments in “sisterly” Iran with “great concern.”
The presidency of Lebanon, whose influential Hezbollah group also receive Iranian support and have been trading fire with Israel, said in a Google-translated statement that “the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities raises fears of an escalation of tensions that could threaten security and stability in more than one region and country” and urged restraint.
