Kochi: Slamming Iran for attacking Kuwait and Bahrain, the Arab world on Wednesday accused Tehran of threatening regional security and stability.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and the Gulf Cooperation Council condemned Iran’s aggression and extended their support for Kuwait and Bahrain, media reports in the Middle East said.
Kuwait said its armed forces detected and intercepted 13 ballistic missiles and drones launched as part of what it called a “heinous Iranian aggression”.
Saudi Arabia said the attacks are a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter.
The GCC described Iran’s actions as an “unacceptable hostile policy”.
GCC urged the international community to take a firm stance against what he called dangerous Iranian aggressive practices.
Qatar reaffirmed its solidarity with Kuwait and Bahrain. Egypt and Jordan described the strikes as a serious escalation that threatened the security of the Gulf and the wider Middle East.
Kuwait temporarily suspended operations at Kuwait International Airport after authorities reported significant material damage to part of the facility. Flights later resumed after safety assessments were completed.
