Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and several Arab nations have strongly condemned the latest alleged Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting Kuwait and Bahrain, describing them as violations of international law and serious threats to regional security and stability.
In a statement issued by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Kingdom condemned “in the strongest terms” what it described as Iran’s attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, as well as actions threatening “the security and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.”
Saudi Arabia said it “categorically rejects these attacks,” calling them “a violation of international law and the United Nations Charter.”
“The Kingdom reiterates that these violations undermine international efforts aimed at restoring security and stability in the region,” the ministry said.
GCC: ‘Direct Threat to Regional Security’
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi denounced what he described as “terrorist Iranian attacks” against Bahrain and Kuwait.
“These treacherous attacks constitute a direct threat to the security, stability and safety of citizens and residents on the territories of Bahrain and Kuwait,” Albudaiwi said.
He added that the continuation of such attacks “actively undermines ongoing regional and international efforts aimed at consolidating peace and security and resolving the crisis.”
UAE, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt Join Condemnation
The United Arab Emirates also condemned what it called “renewed aggressive Iranian attacks” on Kuwait and Bahrain, describing them as “a flagrant violation” of the two countries’ sovereignty and a threat to regional stability.
Qatar strongly condemned the reported attacks and stressed the importance of diplomacy.
Qatar emphasized “the necessity of sparing the region the consequences of these unjustified attacks, continuing on the path of dialogue and diplomacy, de-escalation, and building on the achievements realized within the framework of the memorandum of understanding.”
Jordan described the attacks as “a flagrant violation” of the sovereignty of Kuwait and Bahrain and reaffirmed its “absolute solidarity” with both countries, supporting any measures they take to protect their security and territorial integrity.
Egypt also condemned the reported drone attacks, calling them “an unacceptable escalation” that threatens regional stability and undermines ongoing efforts to reduce tensions across the Middle East.
Kuwait and Bahrain Protest Alleged Attacks
Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the country “condemns and strongly denounces the repeated heinous Iranian aggressions against the State of Kuwait,” describing the latest incident as “a flagrant violation of its sovereignty, a direct threat to its security and stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents.”
The ministry added that the attacks represented “a clear breach of the rules of international law and the United Nations Charter” and warned that continued military escalation could derail regional and international de-escalation efforts.
Bahrain said Iran had again targeted the kingdom with ballistic missiles and drones in what it described as “a dangerous escalation.”
The Bahraini government said the attacks demonstrate that Tehran’s actions “are neither isolated nor incidental, but rather a deliberate policy and systematic pattern of repeated aggression against the Kingdom’s sovereignty and the security of its citizens and residents.”
The kingdom reaffirmed its rejection of actions that violate state sovereignty and called for renewed diplomatic efforts to preserve peace and stability across the Gulf.
Muslim World League Also Condemns Attacks
The Muslim World League (MWL) also condemned the reported Iranian attacks. Secretary-General Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa said the strikes violated “religious values, international and humanitarian laws and norms” and undermined efforts aimed at restoring regional peace and stability.
Iran Yet to Respond
Iran had not immediately responded to the latest round of condemnations. Tehran has previously maintained that its military actions are defensive and have been carried out in response to what it describes as hostile actions by the United States and its regional allies. Independent verification of the competing claims remains limited.
