Riyadh could respond in kind to further attacks, Saudi Arabia warns Iran

Mar 7, 2026, 22:19 GMT+0

Saudi Arabia has warned Iran that continued attacks on the kingdom and ​its energy sector could push Riyadh to respond in kind, Reuters reported on Saturday citing four sources familiar with the matter.

The message was conveyed before Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's televised speech in which he apologized to Arab neighbors for the Iranian attacks, saying he had instructed the country's armed forces to stop hitting regional countres.

However, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain as well as the Iraqi Kurdistan were attacked shortly after Pezeshkian's speech.

Iran won’t leave Trump alone for killing Khamenei, Larijani says
100%
Donald Trump gestures as he gets into a vehicle with the assistance of U.S. Secret Service personnel after he was shot in the right ear during a campaign rally at the Butler Farm Show in Butler, Pennsylvania, US, July 13, 2024.

Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told the state TV on Saturday that the Islamic Republic will not "leave Trump alone" over his killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“Trump got a taste of what happened in Venezuela and liked it, thinking he could quickly do the same in Iran. Now he’s stuck," Larijani said.

"We will not leave him alone. He must pay the price for what he did. He killed our leader and martyred more than 1,000 of our people. This is not a simple matter.”

"We won't leave him alone until reciprocating what he did," he reiterated in a post on his X account.

Larijani vows to keep striking regional countries used for attacks on Iran
100%

Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani warned on Saturday that Tehran would continue attacking neighboring countries if they allow their territory to be used for attacks against Iran, hours after President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to Arab neighbors.

Speaking in a televised interview, Larijani said "countries in the region must either stop the United States from using their territory against Iran themselves, or we will do it."

“Two regional countries have said they will prevent attacks by the United States from their soil, although we find it unlikely,” Larijani said. “We will wait and see. If they prevent it, we will have no issue with them.”

He also said Iran has no issue with Baku but cautioned that any hostile action originating from its territory would draw a response.

“We have no issue with Azerbaijan, but if a conspiracy or flights against Iran are carried out from that country, we will respond,” he warned.

"I believe that if you rise at the decisive moment, the day will not be far when Israel and Iran will once again be strong friends."
