Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi expressed his condemnation and denunciation in the strongest terms of Iran's continued destabilizing behavior regarding regional security and stability, its repeated brutal targeting of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as well as its dangerous attacks on commercial vessels.

Albudaiwi stated that Iran's behavior constitutes a grave violation of the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817, as well as a direct undermining of maritime security and freedom of navigation, SPA reported.

He noted that these repeated, brutal Iranian attacks not only hinder all endeavors aimed at achieving security and stability in the region, but also reveal a systematic insistence on perpetuating chaos, in blatant defiance of international law and the international community's shared will to establish peace.

He underlined that the GCC supports all measures taken by the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan to bolster their security, safeguard their sovereignty, and protect their peoples and residents across their territories.

Gulf states condemned on Sunday repeated Iranian attacks targeting Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, saying such assaults represent a blatant violation of state sovereignty and a direct threat to regional security and stability.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom's condemnation and denunciation, in the strongest terms, of Iran's continued destabilizing behavior toward regional security and stability, its violations of the principles of international law, the UN Charter, the Charter of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the principles of good neighborliness.

This includes Iran's repeated attacks on commercial vessels, threatening the security and freedom of navigation, and its continued heinous assaults on Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, and Jordan.

The Kingdom reaffirmed its categorical rejection of Iran's violation of the sovereignty of brotherly states and its continued threats to regional security and stability.

The Omani government also lambasted on Sunday an attack on its territory, state media announced, with Iran's Guards saying they targeted it during a barrage aimed at countries across the Gulf.

The Oman News Agency said on X that "the Sultanate of Oman affirms its condemnation and denunciation of this attack,” which came just hours after the country hosted Iran's foreign minister to address security issues in the Strait of Hormuz.

Doha too condemned the Iranian attacks against its territory and its neighbors.

"Qatar condemns in the strongest possible terms the renewed attacks carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran," the foreign ministry said in a statement, also referring to the targeting of Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait and calling the barrages a "dangerous escalation.”

In Kuwait, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the country's strongest condemnation and denunciation of the egregious Iranian attacks that targeted it. It affirmed that these repeated assaults reflect a persistent hostile approach, constituting a grave violation of Kuwait's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a direct threat to its security, stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents.

Furthermore, they represent a clear breach of international law, the United Nations Charter, and Security Council Resolution 2817.

The ministry stressed in a statement that the continuation of attacks constitutes an extremely dangerous escalation, which will increase tension and instability in the region, threaten regional peace and security, and undermine diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation and peaceful resolution of crises.

The ministry reiterated that Kuwait's security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity are inviolable, and that Kuwait reserves its full rights to take necessary measures to protect its security and preserve its sovereignty, in accordance with the provisions of international law and the UN Charter.
