Kuwait condemns Iranian attacks targeting its territory

Kuwait's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned on Thursday the Iranian attacks targeting its territories with missiles and drones, describing them as a dangerous escalation and a blatant violation of the country's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.

In a press release, carried by KUNA, the Foreign Ministry affirmed that the attacks posed a direct threat to civilians and vital facilities and came at a time when intensive efforts were being exerted by sisterly and friendly countries to reduce tensions and prevent further escalation in the region.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted the US base ​responsible for an early-morning attack near Bandar Abbas airport and that any repeat would lead to a "more decisive response", Tasnim news agency reported.

The Kuwait ministry said the attacks undermine diplomatic efforts aimed at preserving regional security and stability, calling on Iran to immediately and unconditionally halt such attacks and holding it fully responsible for the aggression.

It stressed that the attacks constituted a flagrant violation of international law, the UN Charter and UN Security Council Resolution 2817 of 2026.

The ministry affirmed Kuwait's full right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its security and defend its territory and vital facilities against any aggression or threat in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter and international law.
