Saudi Arabia Welcomes US-Iran Breakthrough, Calls for Lasting Hormuz Stability

Saudi Arabia has welcomed the agreement between the United States and Iran to halt military operations and launch detailed negotiations within 60 days, with the goal of reaching a permanent accord.

In a statement, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised the mediation efforts of Pakistan and Qatar, as well as the positive response from both Washington and Tehran, which made the deal possible.

The Kingdom stressed the need to restore security and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz to the status quo that existed before February 28. It also voiced hope for a comprehensive peace that strengthens regional and global security, urging a final agreement that respects the interests of regional states and upholds the principle of non-interference in internal affairs.
