Saudi Arabia has ⁠come under attack by hundreds of Iranian missiles ​and drones since the start of U.S.-Israeli war on ​Iran, the vast majority of which have been intercepted, authorities said.

The ministry said in a statement that continued Iranian ​attacks would lead to further escalation and have “significant ​consequences” for current and future relations.

On Wednesday, the Saudi foreign ‌minister ⁠said the kingdom reserved the right to act militarily against Iran and any trust with Tehran had been shattered following recent attacks.

Saudi Arabia and ​Iran re-established ​diplomatic ties ⁠in 2023 as part of an effort to calm tensions after years of ​enmity that saw them back opposing ​political ⁠and military factions in the region.

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and Tehran’s subsequent attacks on Gulf neighbours ⁠have ​disrupted oil and natural gas ​exports from the Middle East and forced production stoppages.
