Saudi Arabia wants Iran’s missiles degraded but infrastructure spared - CNN

Mar 24, 2026, 14:54 GMT+0

Saudi Arabia wants the war with Iran to end with Tehran’s cruise and ballistic missile capabilities degraded “as much as possible,” CNN reports citing a regional official familiar with Riyadh’s position.

The official said Riyadh does not want Iran’s civilian infrastructure harmed.

“We can’t have an aggressive neighbor but also can’t have a population in Iran that is destitute,” the official said.

“At the end of the day, we are neighbors and want a peaceful neighborhood.”
