Kuwait has issued a strong condemnation of what it terms Iran's "sinful and repeated aggressions," following an incident early Saturday morning that allegedly threatened Kuwaiti security and regional stability. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the attacks in the strongest possible terms.
In an official statement, Kuwait accused Iran of disregarding international calls for de-escalation and showing indifference to the potential dangers posed to citizens, residents, and the security of the Gulf region. The ministry emphasized that these actions constitute a flagrant violation of Kuwait's sovereignty, national security, and territorial integrity. Furthermore, the aggressions are seen as a breach of international law, the UN Charter, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817 of 2026.
The statement highlighted the dangerous escalation at a time when international efforts are focused on halting hostilities and preventing further instability in the region. Kuwait reiterated its firm stance that such aggressions are unjustifiable and unacceptable under any circumstances. The nation reserves its full right to implement all necessary measures to safeguard its security, protect its territory, and defend its vital facilities against any threat.
This development occurs amidst heightened regional tensions and increasing international pressure for de-escalation and the protection of regional security.
