Saudi Arabia ordered Iran's military attache, his assistant, and three embassy staff members to leave the country within 24 hours, citing ongoing Iranian attacks on Saudi territory, according to the Saudi Foreign Ministry on Saturday.

The Ministry said in a statement ⁠that the attacks would lead to further escalation and have "significant consequences" for current and future relations, The Caspian Post reports, citing foreign media.

Iran’s continued targeting of the Kingdom-its sovereignty, civilian objects, civilians, economic interests, and diplomatic premises within the Kingdom-constitutes a flagrant violation of all relevant international conventions, the principles of good neighborliness and respect for states’ sovereignty, the Beijing Agreement, and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026), the statement said.

It also contradicts the principles of Islamic brotherhood and the values and tenets of the Islamic faith that the Iranian side continuously invokes, the Ministry added.
