General Secretariat - Riyadh

His Excellency Mr Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), expressed the Cooperation Council’s strongest condemnation and denunciation of the flagrant Iranian attacks targeting the sisterly United Arab Emirates (UAE). 

He emphasised that this act of aggression constitutes a blatant violation of the sovereignty of a GCC member state and represents a dangerous escalation that threatens the security and stability of the region.

​His Excellency stressed that targeting the UAE is an unacceptable and reprehensible behaviour by all standards, reflecting an escalatory approach that disregards the rules of international law and the principles of good neighbourliness.

​Furthermore, he called upon the international community to assume its responsibilities to halt these repeated Iranian attacks and put an immediate end to irresponsible actions that undermine regional and international peace and security.

Finally, His Excellency underlined the GCC’s full and steadfast solidarity with the UAE, standing as a united front in support of all measures taken to protect its security, safeguard its sovereignty, and preserve the safety of its vital facilities.​
