Kuwait condemned Iran's repeated attacks on its territory, describing today's assault as a new escalation targeting the country's security and stability.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that these attacks endangered the lives of civilians and vital facilities. The statement indicated that these repeated actions reflect a planned and aggressive stance.
Emphasis on International Law
The ministry stated that the attacks constitute a clear violation of Kuwait's sovereignty and breach the United Nations Charter and international law. It also noted that such actions undermine efforts to reduce tensions and strengthen stability in the region.
Kuwait announced that it reserves the right to take all necessary measures to protect its national security and defend its territory and critical facilities. It emphasized that these measures will comply with international law and the United Nations Charter.
Previous Attacks in the Region
The statement recalled that Iran had previously launched missile and drone attacks on areas in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan's Zarqa governorate. These attacks were intercepted by the air defense systems of the three countries, and no injuries were reported.
Kuwait's response highlights renewed debates over security and sovereignty in the Gulf and signals a hardening of the rhetoric surrounding regional tensions.
