King Mohammed VI of Morocco condemned repeated Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia on September 27, 2026, declaring that any aggression against the kingdom threatens Moroccan security. In formal royal dispatches, the monarch denounced strikes on civilian infrastructure and holy sites, demanding international accountability for the armed groups.
Morocco has drawn a direct line between its own national security and the defense of the Arabian Peninsula, framing ongoing cross-border strikes as a shared strategic threat. The official position emerged through two separate communications sent on Saturday, September 26, 2026, directed to Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, according to Anadolu Ajansı.
Royal officials in Rabat emphasized that security and stability in Saudi Arabia are indivisible from the safety of Morocco. The diplomatic intervention arrives during an intense escalation in the long-running regional conflict.
Royal Dispatches Target Houthi Escalation and Foreign Backing
The statements from Rabat highlight a sharp uptick in drone and ballistic missile attacks throughout September 2026. Coalition forces reported intercepting six ballistic missiles launched toward cities including Taif and Yanbu on September 24, while the Houthi movement claimed strikes targeting Riyadh and Aramco petroleum facilities. These incidents follow a declared maritime blockade initiated by the group in July.
King Mohammed VI expressed deep concern over strikes hitting civilian hubs, economic installations, and vital facilities. In the Royal Cabinet dispatches, the Moroccan monarch insisted that the violence cannot go unpunished.

The royal letters laid direct responsibility on the Houthi movement and the external regional powers providing them with arms and funding.
Protection of Mecca, Medina, and International Law
Beyond physical infrastructure, the royal messages underscored the psychological and religious impact of targeting the holiest sites in Islam. The Moroccan government stressed that attempts to strike Mecca and Medina cross a dangerous threshold.
These despicable attacks and desperate attempts to undermine the security, stability, and prosperity of the Saudi people represent not only an aggression against the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its noble people, and the pilgrims there, but are a blatant assault on the feelings of more than one billion and eight hundred million Muslims in the east and west of the earth

The text of the dispatches classifies the ongoing attacks as a clear violation of international law and United Nations resolutions. Specifically, the communications cite UN Security Council Resolution 2216 from 2015 alongside Resolution 2722 from 2024, which addresses maritime navigation threats.
As international bodies discuss diplomatic paths, regional defense talks continue.
