Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday condemned renewed Iranian drone attacks on Bahrain, describing them as a blatant violation of the kingdom’s sovereignty and a direct threat to regional security. The statement issued on June 28, 2026, noted that the strikes, which marked a second consecutive day of attacks, caused material damage to civilian property while endangering the safety of Bahrain’s citizens and residents. It warned that Iran’s continued actions represent a dangerous escalation that undermines de-escalation efforts across the Gulf.
The ministry’s statement added that the attacks constitute a clear breach of international law and the United Nations Charter. Kuwait expressed its full solidarity with Bahrain and voiced support for all steps the kingdom takes to defend its territorial integrity and national security. The ministry further stressed that Bahrain’s security remains an integral element of the collective security shared by all Gulf Cooperation Council states.
Kuwait News Agency reported similar strong condemnations from the GCC Secretary General who denounced the drone strikes on civilian facilities and vital infrastructure. The GCC chief highlighted that such targeting demonstrates an intent to disrupt peaceful resolution of regional crises. Several other nations including Qatar, the UAE and Jordan issued parallel statements of solidarity with both Bahrain and Kuwait in recent days.
This latest round of Iranian strikes follows a pattern of retaliatory actions in the Gulf that began earlier in June according to multiple KUNA dispatches. The Arab Parliament had previously condemned attacks on civilian sites in Kuwait and Bahrain while calling for unified Arab responses to preserve stability. Yemen’s government also renewed its denunciations of the missile and drone operations targeting multiple states in the bloc.
Bahrain’s own authorities sounded warning sirens during the renewed assault and labeled the incident a flagrant violation that threatens public safety. Its foreign ministry echoed concerns over sovereignty breaches and risks to residents in statements carried by regional outlets. No immediate reports of casualties from the latest strikes were detailed in official updates.
The Kuwaiti position aligns with a series of diplomatic moves by GCC members to affirm mutual defense commitments amid the tensions. KUNA coverage from June 10 and 11 documented comparable expressions of support from the Arab League chief and several member states following initial attacks. These coordinated responses underscore the bloc’s view of interconnected security across its territories.
Regional diplomatic efforts continue to focus on preventing further escalation while upholding principles of sovereignty and non-interference. The ministry’s reaffirmation of solidarity comes as part of Kuwait’s consistent stance on Gulf stability issues documented in prior KUNA releases throughout the month.
