The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning the Iranian actions against Jordan and the UAE as flagrant violations of sovereignty and territorial integrity. According to the ministry the attacks represent a serious threat to security and stability across the region. Kuwait expressed full solidarity with both countries and voiced support for all steps they deem necessary to protect their national security. The ministry further stressed that such incidents undermine broader efforts to reduce tensions in the Gulf and Levant.
This condemnation forms part of a series of similar statements issued by Kuwait throughout 2026 amid repeated Iranian strikes on neighboring states. The National reported that Iranian attacks in July damaged power generation and water desalination facilities in Kuwait while triggering air defense responses in Jordan where three missiles were intercepted near Aqaba. Those incidents occurred hours after U.S. strikes on Iranian targets and prompted coordinated Arab diplomatic pushback according to multiple regional accounts.
Jordanian authorities have maintained a high state of readiness with their air defenses intercepting the majority of incoming projectiles in recent episodes. One July 19 episode saw three missiles destroyed in flight and a fourth striking an unpopulated southern area with no casualties recorded. The pattern has kept Jordanian forces engaged in defensive operations throughout the summer according to statements compiled by The National.
The United Arab Emirates has issued parallel condemnations of Iranian aggression against its neighbors. A statement from the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 30 described renewed hostile attacks on Kuwait and Jordan as blatant sovereignty violations that endanger collective stability. The UAE ministry reiterated full solidarity with affected states and backed all measures taken to safeguard their security in language closely mirroring Kuwait’s latest declaration.
Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released at least five comparable statements since early July documenting Iranian actions against Bahrain Oman Qatar and Jordan. Each release has characterized the operations as criminal and escalatory while warning that continued incidents jeopardize de-escalation initiatives. The official statements appear on the ministry website and consistently call for respect for Arab state sovereignty.
The Arab League joined several member states in denouncing the strikes as unacceptable escalations that risk drawing additional parties into conflict. A Media Line compilation of reactions from June and July quoted the league secretary-general labeling the targeting of Arab nations in disputes with non-Arab powers as wholly unacceptable. Egypt Saudi Arabia and Qatar issued separate statements of solidarity with the affected countries during the same period.
