Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Al Budaiwi has accused Iran of crossing all red lines by closing the Strait of Hormuz and launching direct attacks on neighboring countries. Speaking at a GCC meeting in Riyadh on Thursday, he described Iran’s actions as a grave violation of international law and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Al Budaiwi said Iran imposed tariffs on passage through the strait, calling it direct aggression against GCC states. He added that several commercial vessels had been hijacked or attacked, severely disrupting international maritime traffic.
Al Budaiwi emphasized the global economic importance of GCC countries, which he described as the “economic lungs” of the world. According to him, GCC members produce 16 billion barrels of crude oil daily—22 percent of global output—and export 27 percent of the world’s oil, about 11.5 billion barrels per day. He warned that Iran’s provocative actions threaten this vital supply chain.
The GCC views Iran’s attacks as not only escalating regional tensions but also marking a turning point in GCC-Iran relations, with civilian casualties reported from missile and drone strikes.
