Saudi Arabia says it is closely following the events in Iraq and emphasizes the importance of self-restraint, Al Arabiya reports citing an official source.

“With knowledge of the operations and threats to the security of the region and the threats posed by terrorist militias that require their cessation, the Kingdom, in light of the rapid developments, calls for the importance of self-restraint to ward off all that may lead to aggravating the situation with its unbearable consequences,” the source added.
The source also said that Saudi Arabia is calling on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities to take the necessary measures to ensure regional security and stability.
