Saudi Arabia issued a fresh warning to Iran on Monday following an Iranian attack that killed two Bangladeshi nationals in the kingdom.

The Saudi government is condemning the recent “Iranian attacks against the Kingdom and the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, as well as a number of Arab, Islamic, and friendly countries, which cannot be accepted or justified under any circumstances,” according to a Monday statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on X.
