Saudi Arabia strongly condemns Iran's attacks on Kuwait and supports its security

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned Iran's attacks on Kuwait, which recently targeted several vital installations in the sisterly State of Kuwait. The Ministry stated that these heinous attacks were carried out by Tehran and its proxies and affiliated groups, representing a dangerous escalation that threatens the security and stability of the entire region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in its official statement, affirmed that the Kingdom strongly condemns these blatant attacks on the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait, considering them a flagrant violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations. It noted that these violations directly undermine international efforts aimed at restoring security and stability in the Middle East region.

The regional context and the escalation of Iranian attacks on Kuwait and neighboring countries

Historically, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, particularly Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, have strived to maintain maritime security and energy stability in the Arabian Gulf region. However, Iran's continued attacks on Kuwait and its repeated targeting of vital infrastructure through its proxies reflect a systematic strategy to destabilize the region. These developments occur amidst escalating geopolitical tensions in the region, where armed groups are using drones and missiles to threaten economic infrastructure, recalling a series of previous attacks targeting global energy supply lines. Saudi-Kuwaiti relations serve as a firm example of brotherhood and shared destiny, with the two countries consistently standing united against security challenges that threaten their sovereignty and resources.

Expected repercussions and the importance of Gulf and international solidarity

These dangerous developments have far-reaching implications at the local, regional, and international levels. Locally and regionally, these attacks heighten security alerts and compel Gulf states to bolster their defense systems and unify their ranks to confront shared threats. Internationally, targeting vital infrastructure threatens the security of global energy supplies, potentially impacting markets and the global economy. The international community is now more than ever required to adopt a firm and unified stance to deter these practices, which violate diplomatic norms and international law. In this context, the Kingdom has called upon Tehran and its proxies to cease all hostile actions against Arab and Islamic states, emphasizing the importance of implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026).

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs concluded its statement by affirming the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's full support for and solidarity with the sisterly State of Kuwait, its government and people. The Kingdom reiterated its complete and unwavering support for all sovereign measures and actions taken by the Kuwaiti authorities to preserve its security, protect its stability, and defend the resources of its brotherly people against any external interference or threats.
