  • Kingdom says events in Iraq were the result of previous "terrorist acts"

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has called for restraint after the killing of Iranian Gen Qassem Soleimani.

The Kingdom said the events in Iraq were the result of previous "terrorist acts" and that Saudi Arabia had warned of their repercussions.

"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been following the events in Iraq, which came as a result of the escalation of tensions and terrorist acts that the Kingdom denounced and warned in the past of their repercussions," an official Saudi source said.

"While we are aware of the operations and threats against the security of the region and the threats posed by terrorist militias that require being stopped, the Kingdom, in light of the accelerating developments, calls for the importance of self-restraint to ward off all that may lead to aggravating the situation with unimaginable consequences.

"Saudi Arabia affirms that the international community must fulfill its responsibilities to take the necessary measures to ensure the security and stability of this vital region for the whole world."
