The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) said on Saturday that Iran's targeting of infrastructure and civilian facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan constitutes war crimes requiring immediate international accountability.
In a statement, GCC Secretary-General Jassim Albudaiwi strongly condemned what he described as Iran's "treacherous attacks" on Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, including strikes on infrastructure and civilian facilities that injured a number of civilian workers in Kuwait.
Albudaiwi said Iran's actions represent a highly dangerous escalation and constitute a serious violation of international law and the United Nations Charter. He added that the attacks amount to war crimes requiring international accountability because they deliberately targeted infrastructure and civilian facilities, in what he described as a blatant violation of international norms and conventions and a further effort to undermine regional security and stability.
He stressed that the GCC stands united with Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan and supports all measures they take to safeguard their security, sovereignty and territorial integrity. He also wished those injured in Kuwait a speedy recovery.
The United Arab Emirates also strongly condemned what it described as renewed Iranian attacks targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan with missiles and drones.
In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the attacks constitute a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the three countries and pose a threat to their security and stability.
The ministry reaffirmed the UAE's full solidarity with Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan and its support for all measures aimed at preserving their security and stability.
