RIYADH, March 22 (Xinhua) — Saudi Arabia has declared the military attaché and four other employees of the Iranian Embassy personae non gratae and asked them to leave the country within 24 hours, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.
The decision was a result of Iran's attacks on some countries, including Saudi Arabia, the ministry said, adding that Riyadh will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to defend its sovereignty, ensure security and protect its territory, airspace, citizens, residents, capabilities and interests in accordance with the UN Charter.
The development comes amid heightened tensions in the region following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began on February 28, to which Tehran and its regional allies responded with attacks on Israeli and US targets across the Middle East.
