RIYADH: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received the Crown Prince of Bahrain Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa in Diriyah on Tuesday, Saudi Press Agency reported.
During the meeting, they reviewed the historic relations between their countries, opportunities for cooperation in various fields, and a number of issues of common interest.
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has warned it reserves the "full right" to respond to Iranian aggression following a series of "blatant and cowardly" strikes targeting the capital and the Eastern Province.
The warning came during a late-night Cabinet session on Tuesday, chaired by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman via videoconference, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The Cabinet also "reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s full solidarity with the brotherly countries whose territories were subjected to blatant Iranian aggression," SPA said.
The session followed a dramatic escalation of hostilities, including a direct drone attack on the US Embassy in Riyadh.
Major General Turki al-Malki, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, confirmed that while air defenses intercepted multiple threats, the embassy compound sustained a "limited fire and minor material damage."
He further announced that Saudi forces successfully intercepted and destroyed eight additional drones targeting the cities of Riyadh and Al-Kharj early Tuesday morning.
