Saudi Arabia says seeking to avert war, ball in Iran's court

RIYADH - Saudi Arabia wants to avert war in the region but stands ready to respond with “all strength and determination” following last week’s attacks on Saudi oil assets, a senior official said on Sunday, adding that the ball was now in Iran’s court.

Iran has denied it was behind the attacks which come as Washington and the Islamic Republic spar over sanctions and the U.S. military presence in the region, raising concerns about a potential U.S.-Iran conflict. Saudi Arabia’s King Salman on Sunday invited Gulf and Arab leaders to convene emergency summits in Mecca on May 30 to discuss implications of the attacks.[L5N22U0PA]

The Houthis, who are battling a Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, said they carried out the strike on oil pumping stations in the kingdom, which did not disrupt output or exports in the world’s largest crude exporter. “We want peace and stability in the region but we will not sit on our hands in light of the continuing Iranian attack,” Jubeir said. “The ball is in Iran’s court and it is up to Iran to determine what its fate will be.”

The SaudiEmbassyUSA is evil. Nobody can trust what the SaudiArabian regime . IslamicRegimeMustGo

FM Adel al-Jubeir isn’t fooling anyone. We know Saudis’ war fighting capability is nil. Nobody will win this war because the first thing that will go up in flames will be the oil wells in both countries. Saudis need to tell Trump to stop harassing Iran.

Iran is playing with fire. Saudis are seeking peace.

🤪

I’ll just leave this here:

We've lost confidence in whatever Saudi Arabian government says

Iran caused a lot of casualties exporting IEDs and terrorism. It’s time for accountability ⏰

FM Adel al-Jubeir isn’t fooling anyone. We know Saudis’ war fighting capabilities is nil. Nobody will win a war that involves Iran because the first thing that will go up in flames will be the oil wells in both countries. Saudis need to tell Trump to stop harassing Iran.

there is no 'ball' or 'court' because this is not a game

You should have written the headline properly. 'Saudi Arabia Says it seeks to avert sending its lap dog the United States into Iran for another war for oil.'

Never play with lion’s tail when your security hanging by a thread! Saudis are taken after a handful of cowards those who sit in a glass house, throwing stone at the other!.

a free carbon economy will get us rid of those arabs dirty oil countries who only want war

War criminal Yemen

Sounds more like a threat

Saudi enjoys nothing better than having others fight wars for them or otherwise bombarding poor people that can’t defend themselves. They’re like America in this way

They're a joke military.

Bonesaws BS. Spare us.

Aw. Tiny US puppet acting like they take any sort of decision. The crown king doesn’t even poop before letting Washington know
