Riyadh and Paris Urge Diplomatic Solution to Iran Nuclear Issue

Saudi Arabia and France have jointly called for a diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue. The two countries emphasized the need to pursue diplomacy to address concerns surrounding Iran's nuclear program, while avoiding steps that could further destabilize the region.

The joint statement from Riyadh and Paris also highlighted the importance of restoring normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway for global energy shipments. Disruptions to maritime traffic have raised concerns over oil supplies and international trade.

The call for diplomacy comes amid heightened regional tensions and growing international efforts to prevent further escalation involving Iran.
