Bahrain and the GCC have strongly condemned the blatant Iranian attack targeting Kuwait with missiles and drones.
Yesterday’s attack by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps was a flagrant violation of Kuwait’s sovereignty, security and stability, as well as the principles of good neighbourliness and international law, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
It affirmed Bahrain’s full solidarity with Kuwait and its support for all measures it takes to safeguard its sovereignty, security and stability.
The ministry commended the readiness of the Kuwaiti armed forces in confronting this blatant attack with high efficiency and competence.
GCC Secretary General Jasem Mohammed Al Budaiwi expressed his ‘strongest condemnation of the continued criminal Iranian attacks against Kuwait’.
He noted that ‘the continuation of these treacherous attacks constitutes a blatant violation of the principles of international law, the Charter of the United Nations, and the principles of good neighbourliness’.
Kuwait’s foreign ministry also expressed its strong condemnation of ‘the criminal Iranian attacks targeting Kuwaiti territory with missiles and drones’.
The condemnations came as the United States and Iran reached an outline agreement to extend their ceasefire pending the approval of President Donald Trump, after Iran had targeted a US air base in Kuwait following US strikes on what Washington called an Iranian drone operation.
According to a source familiar with the matter, the two sides agreed a memorandum of understanding to extend the truce for 60 days but the plan still needed Trump’s signoff.
The news was first reported by Axios, which said that negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme would be held during that period.
