Kuwait and Bahrain have strongly condemned the latest Iranian attacks targeting their territories, describing the incidents as serious violations of their sovereignty and threats to regional security.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the country’s “condemnation and strongest denunciation of the repeated heinous Iranian aggressions against the State of Kuwait,” saying the latest attack occurred at dawn and constituted “a flagrant violation of its sovereignty, a direct threat to its security and stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents.”
