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.

Albudaiwi stressed that the security of Bahrain and Kuwait is an indivisible part of the security of the GCC nations.

He reaffirmed that the council countries stand in a united, steadfast position alongside Bahrain and Kuwait, fully supporting all measures they undertake to protect their security, safeguard their sovereignty and territorial integrity, and ensure the safety of their peoples.
