HE GCCSG Condemns in the Strongest Terms the Blatant and Nefarious Iranian Targeting of the Territories of the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan
His Excellency Mr Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), expressed the GCC’s condemnation in the strongest possible terms of the nefarious and blatant Iranian missile attacks on the territories of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, and the brotherly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He described these attacks as a flagrant violation of sovereignty, affirming that all GCC states stand in full solidarity as one rank in the face of these assaults.
“The Council places all its capabilities at the disposal of these nations to support whatever measures they take to defend their sovereignty, security, and national interests, while maintaining their right to respond and defend themselves in accordance with the principles of the United Nations (UN) Charter,” His Excellency stated.
Moreover, His Excellency Mr Albudaiwi warned of the dire consequences of this unjustified escalation, which threatens the security and stability of the region. He explained that the Council states have always been strong advocates for maintaining regional peace, security, and stability for the benefit of all peoples in the region.
“Targeting the territories of GCC states contradicts the provisions of international law, the UN Charter, and the principles of good neighbourliness, and cannot be accepted under any justification or pretext,” His Excellency pointed out, stressing that Iran must immediately cease any escalatory actions that would undermine regional security and stability.
