Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi expressed his condemnation and denunciation in the strongest possible terms of the continued hostile Iranian attacks targeting the State of Kuwait.

Albudaiwi said that these actions represent a dangerous and irresponsible escalation, a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait and all international laws and norms, and a direct threat to regional security and stability, underscoring that the continuation of these aggressive assaults reflects an unacceptable Iranian approach that undermines all efforts aimed at maintaining security and stability, SPA reported.

He called upon the international community and the United Nations Security Council to assume their responsibilities and take a firm, deterrent stance against these serious violations that threaten regional and international peace and security.

The GCC secretary-general stressed that the security of the State of Kuwait is an indivisible part of the security of the GCC nations.

"The GCC states stand in a united and steadfast position alongside the State of Kuwait, fully supporting all measures and steps it undertakes to protect its security, safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and maintain the safety of its citizens and residents," he concluded.

Kuwait's air defenses intercepted missile and drone attacks, the military said Monday, with the country blaming Iran.

"The General Staff of the Army wishes to advise that any sounds of explosions heard are the result of air defense systems intercepting these hostile attacks," the army said in a post on X.

The foreign ministry later said in a statement that it was "holding Iran fully responsible for these heinous attacks".

KUNA, the state news agency, reported that air raid sirens sounded across the Gulf nation.

The attacks come despite a ceasefire in place between the United States and Iran.
