Saudi Arabia Condemns Iranian Attacks on Kuwaiti Military Camp and Infrastructure

Saudi Arabia Condemns Iranian Attacks on Kuwaiti Military Camp and Infrastructure

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemns in the strongest terms the heinous Iranian attacks targeting a camp belonging to the Kuwaiti Armed Forces, as well as a power and water desalination plant in the State of Kuwait, which resulted in injuries to a number of Kuwaiti Armed Forces personnel, SPA reported.

The Kingdom emphasizes that these cowardly attempts by Iran and its blatant conduct toward the countries of the region confirm the continuation of an unjustifiable hostile approach under any circumstances.

Such actions constitute a clear violation of international laws and norms, as well as the principles of good neighborliness, and risk further escalation in the region.

The Kingdom expresses its sincere wishes for a swift recovery to the injured, and prays for the continued safety and security of Kuwait, its leadership and people.

Bahrain announced on Monday the arrest of three people “for forming a cell affiliated with the Lebanese terrorist Hezbollah group,” saying the necessary legal procedures had been completed and that the detainees had been referred to the Public Prosecution.

In a statement, the Interior Ministry said the suspects “coordinated with terrorist elements abroad and sought to engage in espionage with them with the intent to undermine the sovereignty of the state, spread fear and panic among citizens and residents, and endanger the security and safety of the country.”

The suspects were identified as Ahmed Ahmed Hussain Madan, 24, Hassan Abdulameer Ashoor, 22, and Muntadhar Abdulmohsen Ali Madan, 29, reported Bahrain’s state news agency BNA.

They revealed that “during their travel to Lebanon, they received weapons training after meeting with members of the Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organization.”

They also sent images and information about the repercussions of the Iranian attacks against Bahrain and collected funds under the guise of charitable work, transferring them to support Hezbollah activities in preparation for being tasked by its leaders with carrying out terrorist plots and acts in Bahrain, said the statement.
