He noted that the criminal Iranian attacks targeting civilians, residential areas, infrastructure, and energy facilities in the Kingdom of Bahrain, GCC countries, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan have resulted in human and material losses that necessitate firm positions.
The Crown Prince stated that addressing Iranian threats must be comprehensive, covering nuclear capabilities, ballistic missiles, drones, and support for proxies and terrorist groups.
Furthermore, he stressed the need to end threats to the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the importance of achieving sustainable peace for all nations in the region.
