Arab World, June 3 (Petra) — Arab countries and organizations on
Wednesday condemned what they described as Iranian attacks on Kuwait
and Bahrain, saying in separate statements that the actions
constituted a blatant violation of international laws, norms, and the
principles of international humanitarian law.

The United Arab Emirates strongly condemned the Iranian attacks on
Bahrain involving missiles and drones, saying the strikes represented
a flagrant violation of Bahrain’s sovereignty, a breach of
international law, and a threat to its security and stability and the
safety of its vital civilian and strategic facilities.

The UAE expressed its full solidarity with Bahrain and support for
all measures taken by the kingdom to safeguard its security and
stability.

Egypt also strongly condemned the Iranian attack on Kuwait and
Bahrain, describing it as a dangerous escalation that could threaten
the security and stability of the entire region.

In a statement, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry affirmed its full support
and solidarity with Kuwait and Bahrain and backed all measures taken
by the two countries to preserve their security and stability and
protect their territories and critical infrastructure.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the Iranian attacks on
civilian targets in Kuwait and Bahrain, saying they violated the
sovereignty of the two countries and breached the principles of
international law.

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit also strongly
condemned the Iranian attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, stressing that
the unprovoked strikes on civilian sites and vital facilities
represented a dangerous escalation and a blatant violation of the
United Nations Charter, international humanitarian law, and the 1949
Geneva Conventions and their additional protocols.

He called on Iran to immediately and unconditionally halt the attacks
and abandon what he described as a policy of provocation and
escalation that undermines regional security and stability.

Mohammed Al Yamahi, President of the Arab Parliament, likewise
condemned the Iranian aggression against Kuwait and Bahrain, saying
it constituted a clear violation of international laws, conventions
and humanitarian principles.

He reaffirmed the Arab Parliament’s full solidarity with Kuwait and
Bahrain and its support for all measures they take to protect their
national security and ensure the safety of their citizens and
residents.

Al Yamahi urged the international community and the United Nations
Security Council to take a firm and immediate stance to stop such
serious violations and prevent their recurrence in order to preserve
regional and international peace and security.

Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary-General Jasem Al Budaiwi strongly
condemned what he described as the continuing Iranian aggression
against Bahrain and Kuwait, calling it a dangerous and unprecedented
escalation.

Al Budaiwi said the continuation of such attacks demonstrated Iran’s
persistence in pursuing hostile policies aimed at undermining
regional security, in defiance of international law, the United
Nations Charter, and established international norms. He said the
situation required a firm international response to end what he
called these dangerous, aggressive practices.

He added that GCC member states stood united in confronting the
attacks and fully supported the measures taken by Bahrain and Kuwait
to defend their security, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Al-Azhar strongly condemned the Iranian attacks on Kuwait and
Bahrain, reiterating its rejection of actions that threaten civilian
safety and undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
both countries.

The institution said the continuation of the attacks represented a
direct violation of a ceasefire agreement and a dangerous escalation
that could threaten the security and stability of Gulf states and
further increase regional tensions.

Al-Azhar expressed hope that the spirit of Islamic brotherhood would
prevail, urging all parties to emerge from what it described as a
dark period, adhere to the ceasefire agreement, embrace wisdom,
reason and dialogue, and place the interests of innocent civilians
above all other considerations.

The Council of Arab Interior Ministers also denounced the latest
Iranian aggression against Kuwait and Bahrain.

The Muslim World League likewise condemned what it described as the
Iranian attack targeting the Kingdom of Bahrain and the State of
Kuwait, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

The league’s Secretary-General, Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa,
renewed his condemnation of what he called “these treacherous and
criminal Iranian attacks,” saying they violated religious values as
well as international humanitarian laws and norms.

He reaffirmed full solidarity with Bahrain and Kuwait and support for
all measures taken by the two countries to protect their security,
sovereignty and the safety of their citizens and residents.
