RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA February 28, 2026 – His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, received a telephone call on Saturday from His Majesty King Mohammed VI of the Kingdom of Morocco.
According to an official statement released by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the two leaders discussed the latest developments in the region amid ongoing military escalation. They focused particularly on what the statement described as “the blatant Iranian attacks against Saudi Arabia and other brotherly nations.”
King Mohammed VI strongly condemned the Iranian attacks and reaffirmed Morocco’s full solidarity — at both the governmental and popular levels — with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The official graphic issued by the Saudi Foreign Ministry features side-by-side portraits of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and King Mohammed VI beneath the headline:
“HRH the Crown Prince, King of Morocco Condemn Iranian Attacks.”**
The full text of the statement reads:
“His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received a phone call today from King Mohammed VI of Morocco, during which they discussed the latest developments in light of the military escalation in the region, as well as the blatant Iranian attacks against Saudi Arabia and other brotherly nations. King Mohammed VI condemned the Iranian attacks and affirmed Morocco’s solidarity, both government and people, with Saudi Arabia.”
The call comes hours after Iranian missile strikes targeted multiple Gulf states, including reported attacks on Riyadh and Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, as well as the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan. The strikes were widely described across Arab capitals as retaliatory actions following U.S.-Israeli operations against Iranian targets earlier on Saturday.
Morocco’s monarch has made parallel calls to the leaders of the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and other Gulf nations, consistently expressing the same firm condemnation of the Iranian actions and pledging full Moroccan support for any legitimate measures the affected states take to protect their sovereignty and citizens.
The Saudi statement, dated 28 February 2026 / 11 Ramadan 1447, underscores the deepening coordination among Arab nations in response to what officials across the region have termed a direct threat to stability and security.
No further details on the content of the conversation or planned joint actions were released at the time of the announcement.
