RIYADH: The Kingdom strongly condemned Iran on Tuesday for targeting the Saudi tanker Wedyan as it transited the Strait of Hormuz.

It also condemned Iran for targeting Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker Al-Rekayyat and said these “unacceptable attacks” constitute an assault on the security and safety of international navigation and on the security of global energy supplies.

Saudi Arabia said it held Iran fully responsible for the attacks and their repercussions.
