Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement Monday condemning Iran’s continued attacks on the country, which it characterized as a persistent hostile approach that flagrantly violates Kuwaiti sovereignty. The statement warned that these actions represent a blatant breach of international law, the United Nations Charter and Security Council Resolution 2817 while occurring at a moment when broader efforts seek to ease regional tensions. Such aggressions risk undermining de-escalation initiatives and further threatening stability across the Gulf, according to the ministry. Kuwait holds Iran fully responsible for the attacks and their repercussions, the ministry added, demanding an immediate cessation of the operations.
The ministry’s statement reaffirmed that Kuwait will continue taking all necessary measures to protect its territory, national interests and the safety of citizens and residents in accordance with international law. It emphasized that the state’s sovereignty, security and stability remain absolute priorities that cannot be compromised under any circumstances. The position underscores Kuwait’s determination to respond appropriately to any threats against its borders or population, the ministry said.
In a parallel announcement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Iranian attacks directed at Bahrain and expressed complete solidarity with the kingdom. The ministry voiced unwavering support for all steps Bahrain deems necessary to defend its sovereignty, security and stability against the ongoing threats. This backing forms part of a coordinated regional response to the provocations, according to the foreign ministry.
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry has likewise denounced the Iranian actions against Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan in an official statement distributed by the Saudi Press Agency. That declaration renewed Riyadh’s full solidarity with the affected states and its backing for protective measures they adopt, the agency reported. Comparable condemnations have come from the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, whose foreign ministries issued parallel statements in recent weeks. The pattern of statements demonstrates growing concern among GCC members over the escalation.
The Gulf Cooperation Council has joined the chorus by labeling certain Iranian strikes on civilian infrastructure as war crimes and urging accountability at the international level, according to a statement highlighted by regional monitors. These collective diplomatic actions reflect a unified GCC stance aimed at preserving security and deterring further violations. The developments arrive against a backdrop of heightened alerts across multiple Gulf capitals.
Kuwait’s latest statement aligns with its long-standing policy of seeking peaceful resolutions while reserving the right to self-defense when sovereignty is challenged. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly called on Iran to abandon its hostile pattern to allow space for dialogue and stability. Officials continue to monitor the situation closely in coordination with allied nations.
