Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have condemned Iran’s retaliatory attacks on US facilities across several Middle Eastern countries. In a statement, Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry said the Iranian strikes threaten security and freedom of navigation. The ministry accused Iran of violating international law, the UN Charter, the charter of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and principles of good neighborliness through repeated attacks on commercial vessels. Although Saudi Arabia was not directly targeted, a Saudi oil tanker was damaged last week while crossing the Strait of Hormuz.

Kuwait’s foreign ministry also denounced the Iranian attacks, warning that the escalation poses serious risks to regional stability and peace. The statement said the strikes would heighten tensions, undermine diplomatic efforts for peaceful resolution, and threaten regional security. Kuwait affirmed its right to take necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and security under international law and the UN Charter.

According to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the attacks targeted Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, and Oman, while the United Arab Emirates claimed to have intercepted Iranian missiles and drones.
