Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement Friday condemning in the strongest terms what it termed continued Iranian aggression against the country after hostile drones struck a number of vital and military facilities. The ministry described the attacks as a flagrant violation of Kuwaiti sovereignty and a direct threat to the nation’s security and stability while labeling them a serious breach of international law, the United Nations Charter and UN Security Council Resolution 2817. Officials warned that such actions reflect a systematic hostile approach that cannot be justified under any circumstances and stressed that the incidents mark a dangerous escalation in regional tensions.
The ministry’s statement reaffirmed Kuwait’s inherent right to take all necessary measures to preserve its sovereignty, protect its security and safeguard citizens as well as residents throughout the country. This position aligns with earlier diplomatic correspondence sent to the United Nations earlier in 2026 that outlined similar concerns over Iranian actions, according to records from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The latest strikes come amid a pattern of renewed attacks that have affected multiple states in the region over recent months.
Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a comparable condemnation on July 30, 2026, denouncing the Iranian strikes on Kuwait and Jordan as a flagrant violation of sovereignty and a breach of the UN Charter while calling for an immediate cessation of all military operations. The Qatari statement, released on the ministry’s official platform, emphasized that continued attacks would complicate de-escalation efforts and undermine diplomatic initiatives aimed at restoring stability. It urged a return to dialogue and adherence to prior understandings reached through negotiations.
The United Arab Emirates similarly condemned the renewed Iranian hostile attacks targeting Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan with missiles and drones, according to a statement from its Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The UAE affirmed full solidarity with the affected states and expressed support for measures to safeguard their security and stability, describing the actions as a clear threat to regional peace. These coordinated responses from Gulf states highlight a unified diplomatic front against the pattern of aggression.
A joint statement issued by foreign ministers from a group of Arab and Islamic countries following a March 2026 meeting in Riyadh had already denounced Iranian deliberate attacks using ballistic missiles and drones on residential areas, civilian infrastructure, oil facilities and diplomatic premises across several nations including Kuwait. The participants, which included representatives from Kuwait, stressed the need for Iran to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2817 that called for an immediate halt to such operations. The resolution and related diplomatic efforts form the backdrop for the latest round of condemnations.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kuwait noted that the persistence of these attacks occurs even as regional de-escalation initiatives continue, framing them as a systematic pattern that undermines broader stability efforts. Earlier incidents in July 2026 had prompted comparable strong condemnations from Kuwait that similarly invoked violations of sovereignty and international norms. Kuwait has consistently maintained that its security, sovereignty and the safety of its population represent a red line that will be defended through appropriate means.
