RIYADH: The secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council condemned Iranian attacks on member states targeting civilian and diplomatic facilities, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.

An attack from two drones on the US Embassy in Riyadh caused a “limited fire,” on Tuesday according to Saudi Arabia’s Defense Ministry. It followed an attack on the US Embassy in Kuwait that announced Tuesday it had been closed until further notice.

These attacks constitute a clear violation of all international and UN laws pertaining to diplomatic missions, Jasem Mohamed Al-Budaiwi said.

Al-Budaiwi also condemned attacks on civilian and residential facilities in the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar.

He said Iranian attacks on GCC member states are a stark indication of Iran’s malicious intentions towards GCC countries and its persistent efforts to destabilize security and stability in the region and the world.

He emphasized that targeting the territories of GCC member states is unacceptable under any pretext or justification, and that Iran must immediately cease its barbaric attacks.

He reiterated the solidarity of all GCC member states and their unified stance in confronting these brutal Iranian attacks to defend their sovereignty, security, and national interests.
