Tunisia condemns Iranian attacks on Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region
The Republic of Tunisia, in a firm official statement, expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation of the Iranian attacks targeting sites in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as well as several other countries in the region, including Kuwait, Qatar, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and the Republic of Iraq. Tunisia affirmed its full support and absolute solidarity with these sister nations, endorsing all measures they are taking to protect their national security and defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Tunisian concern over the repercussions of military escalation
In an official statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tunisia affirmed that it is following with deep concern and grave anxiety the unfolding events and the dangerous military escalation in the Middle East. The Tunisian Foreign Ministry warned of the dire consequences of this escalation, pointing to the real risks that could arise from the widening of the conflict, potentially plunging the region into chaos and instability, which poses a serious and direct threat to both regional and international peace and security.
The importance of stability in the Gulf and Middle East region
This Tunisian stance stems from a deep understanding of the sensitivity of the geopolitical situation in the region, where the stability of the Gulf states and the Middle East is a cornerstone of global security, given the region's strategic and economic weight. Any threat to the security of Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries will not only have regional repercussions but will also affect the stability of global energy supplies and international trade, thus necessitating a unified international position rejecting the language of force and cross-border aggression.
A call to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy
In closing, Tunisia issued a clear and urgent appeal to all parties involved to immediately cease military operations and prioritize reason and wisdom. It stressed the importance of returning to the negotiating table as the only way to resolve disputes and avoid further escalation, which will only lead to destruction. Tunisia also called for an end to the bloodshed of innocent civilians and the preservation of the region's resources and wealth, emphasizing that diplomatic solutions are the only guarantee for restoring stability and sparing the region the horrors of open warfare and conflict.
