Riyadh, July 12 (QNA) – Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jassem Mohamed Albudaiwi, expressed his strongest condemnation and denunciation of Iran’s continued conduct that undermines the security and stability of the region, its repeated brutal targeting of the State of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Kuwait and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as well as its serious attacks on commercial vessels.

In a statement on Sunday, the GCC secretary-general affirmed that Iran’s conduct constitutes a grave violation of the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, and UN Security Council Resolution 2,817, and undermines the security and freedom of navigation.

He also noted that these repeated and brutal Iranian attacks not only obstruct efforts aimed at achieving security and stability in the region, but also reveal a systematic insistence on entrenching chaos, in blatant defiance of international law and the international will seeking to establish peace.

He affirmed that the GCC supports all measures taken by the State of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Kuwait and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to enhance their security, safeguard their sovereignty, and protect their peoples and residents on their territories.
