Saudi Arabia has informed Iran that it will not allow its airspace or territory to be used to attack it, two sources close to the kingdom's government told AFP on Wednesday, as Washington threatens Tehran with possible military strikes.
The message came as the United States warned it could respond to the Iranian government's crackdown on protests, while Tehran has said it would strike American military and naval assets in the event of a new attack.
" Saudi Arabia has directly informed Tehran that it will not participate in any military action against it and that its territory and airspace will not be used for this purpose ," a source close to the Saudi military staff told AFP.
A second government source confirmed that the message had been conveyed to Tehran. The United States has military assets in the Persian Gulf, including in Saudi Arabia.
