The Muslim World League (MWL) on Sunday strongly condemned Iran’s continued aggression against Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Jordan, as well as the targeting of commercial vessels, the Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday.

In a statement by its General Secretariat, the MWL denounced these Iranian attacks as violations of international law, the UN Charter, the Charter of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the principles of good neighborliness.

Secretary-General of the MWL and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa renewed his condemnation of these repeated Iranian attacks, stressing that they violate all religious values as well as international and humanitarian laws and norms.

Al-Issa underscored that the continued attacks also undermine efforts to restore security and stability across the region.

Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Sunday targeting US military facilities in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions following US strikes on Iranian targets.
