The Israeli Iranian War, No Winner or Loser

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman recently discussed with Gulf states leaders the repercussions of the Israeli attack on Iran. This is the true meaning of GCC solidarity, especially under current circumstances in the region. Riyadh's efforts to achieve peace did not stop there; MBS also discussed regional developments, including Israeli military operations against Iran, with US President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

The positions of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi are clear; Saudi Arabia expressed its strong condemnation of the blatant Israeli attacks against Tehran, which undermine its sovereignty and security, describing these attacks as "a clear violation of international laws." Saudi Arabia also firmly emphasized that the international community and the Security Council bear a major responsibility to halt the Israeli aggression. Saudi Arabia's renewed call to mobilize the world’s efforts to reach a comprehensive solution to this dangerous development is not merely a media stunt, but rather aims to protect the region and its people from these successive conflicts.

Furthermore, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned that the US strikes on Iran could have broader repercussions beyond the energy sector. Also, Asia has begun accelerating its imports of Middle East oil after spot premiums jumped amid rising tensions in the region, and there’s a possibility that Tehran may disrupt the Strait of Hormuz.

Final words: Despite the peace agreements Tel Aviv has concluded with Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan, it is clear that Prime Minister Netanyahu does not seem to be truly serious about working to achieve security, peace, and stability in the Middle East.
