**Saudi Arabia** has warned it could take military action against **Iran,** raising fears of a further escalation in the conflict.

The warning follows overnight attacks in which Iranian ballistic missiles and drones targeted **Riyadh and key oil facilities**. An Iranian drone also struck a major refinery on the kingdom’s **Red Sea coast**.

Foreign Minister **Prince Faisal bin Farhan** said Saudi Arabia would defend its territory and economic interests, adding that the country **“will not shy away” from taking action if necessary**.

He also said that any remaining trust between Riyadh and Tehran had been **“completely shattered”**, despite diplomatic ties being restored as recently as 2023.

Iran has launched **waves of missiles and drones across the region** in response to US-Israeli strikes, increasingly drawing Gulf states into alignment against it.

While Saudi Arabia and its neighbours have not yet retaliated directly, they have warned that attacks on energy infrastructure **will not go unanswered**, as the conflict continues to drive sharp rises in oil and gas prices.
