Regional Tensions
- This initiative follows Israeli military strikes on Iranian territory, which have led several countries, including Iran and Iraq, to close portions of their airspace.
- These closures have disrupted international flight schedules and created uncertainty for travelers throughout the Gulf region.
Airport Advisory
- Saudi Arabia’s main international airports in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam have urged passengers to check with their airlines before heading to the airport, especially those flying to or transiting through affected regions.
Saudi Arabia’s Stance on Recent Events

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the attacks as “heinous” and called on the United Nations Security Council and the international community to take immediate action to stop this aggression and prevent further escalation.
This commitment to Iranian pilgrims reflects Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to ensure safety and provide assistance amid challenging circumstances in the region.
