  • Kuwait strongly condemned Iran's repeated aggressions, calling them a dangerous escalation threatening civilian lives and facilities.
  • The foreign ministry stated that the attacks violate Kuwait's sovereignty and international law.
  • Kuwait reserves the right to defend its territory and infrastructure in accordance with international law.

Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a strong condemnation of what it described as continued and repeated Iranian aggressions against the country. The latest incident, occurring earlier in the day, was labeled a dangerous escalation that poses a threat to civilian lives and the safety of vital and residential facilities. In a statement released Wednesday, the ministry asserted that these repeated actions demonstrate an "organized aggressive approach."

The ministry further stated that Iran's actions constitute a clear violation of Kuwait's sovereignty, international law, and the United Nations Charter. Such behavior, it argued, undermines ongoing efforts toward regional de-escalation. Kuwait reaffirmed its inherent right to implement all necessary measures to protect its security, territory, and critical infrastructure, consistent with international legal principles and the UN Charter.
