The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) said on Saturday that the Iranian regime's continued terrorist acts targeting infrastructure and civilian facilities demonstrate its desire to destabilize security and stability in the region and undermine peace efforts.

He reiterated that these "treacherous Iranian terrorist acts" represent a dangerous and irresponsible escalation, a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and a direct threat to regional security and stability.

The secretary-general stressed that the security of Bahrain and Kuwait is "an integral part of the security of the GCC states," adding that the member states stand united and firm in support of both countries.

He also affirmed the GCC's full backing for all measures taken by Bahrain and Kuwait to protect their security, safeguard their sovereignty, and preserve the integrity of their territories.
