His Excellency Mr Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), expressed the Council's condemnation in the strongest possible terms of the continued cowardly and treacherous Iranian attacks on GCC states. These attacks have targeted civilian and diplomatic facilities, most recently the premises of the United States embassies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait, in clear violation of all international and United Nations (UN) laws concerning the sanctity of diplomatic missions. This is in addition to the blatant aggression against civilian and residential facilities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Sultanate of Oman, and the State of Qatar.
His Excellency stressed that these Iranian attacks on the territories of GCC states, along with its unjustified, illegal, and immoral escalation, are blatant evidence of its malicious intentions toward the Council states and its persistent efforts to destabilise security and stability in the region and the world.
Moreover, he pointed out that targeting the territories of GCC states cannot be accepted under any justification or pretext, and that Iran must immediately cease its barbaric aggressions. He reiterated the full solidarity of all GCC states, standing as one rank in the face of these brutal Iranian attacks to defend their sovereignty, security, and national interests.
