Kuwait has issued a strong condemnation of what it described as an "atrocious Iranian aggression" that targeted the country on Tuesday evening. The attack resulted in injuries to members of the armed forces and caused material damage, according to a statement from the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The ministry emphasized that the ongoing aggression represents a "blatant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait" and poses a "serious threat to the security and safety of its citizens and residents." Furthermore, Kuwait views the actions as a "brazen challenge to international legitimacy and UN Security Council Resolution 2817 of 2026."
Kuwait considers the continued Iranian aggression to be a sign of insistence on a hostile approach and an irresponsible undermining of regional and international efforts to achieve security and stability. The nation asserted its inherent right to take appropriate measures to safeguard its sovereignty and maintain its security and stability, in accordance with international law and the UN Charter.
The statement did not provide specific details about the nature of the attack or the extent of the damage, but the strong language indicates a significant escalation in tensions. This incident marks a serious development in the region, with Kuwait taking a firm stance against perceived Iranian aggression.
