Saudi Arabia Expels Iranian Diplomats Over Aggression Against Kingdom
Saudis have had enough of Iran’s strikes.
The Iranian strategy of firing its missiles against the Gulf countries because of their collaboration with the US-Israeli strikes threatens turning these neighboring states against the mullahs’ regime.
In the case of Saudi Arabia, the threats of military action from Riyadh have evolved into the expulsion of Iranian diplomats over the aggression against the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia announced the expulsion of Iranian military attachés and embassy staff, declaring them persona non grata and ordering them to leave the Kingdom within 24 hours, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Saturday. https://t.co/vi2i1srTzH

Gulf News reported:
“The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs renewed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s unequivocal condemnation of the blatant Iranian attacks against the Kingdom, the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and a number of Arab and Islamic countries.
[…] Reaffirming the ministry’s statement issued on 9th March 2026, […] the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has notified the military attaché of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Kingdom, the assistant military attaché, and three members of the mission staff to leave the Kingdom, and has declared them personae non gratae. They are required to depart the Kingdom within 24 hours.”
The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) stated that the continued targeting by Iran ‘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’.
EFE reported:
“Saudi authorities warned that Tehran’s actions risk further escalation and could have lasting consequences for bilateral relations.
‘The kingdom will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to preserve its sovereignty, safeguard its security, and protect its territory, airspace, citizens, residents, and resources’, the Foreign Ministry said, citing Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which recognizes the right to self-defense.
Since the start of the conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28, Saudi Arabia, like other Gulf countries, has faced repeated missile and drone attacks, most of which have been intercepted by its air defense systems.”
