Kuwait condemns Iranian attack on power and water facilities

Amman, July 19 (Petra) — Kuwait strongly condemned the “criminal”
Iranian attack carried out on Sunday that again targeted an
electricity power station and a water desalination facility in the
country.

In a statement carried by the official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA),
Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry said the repeated deliberate targeting of
vital infrastructure and civilian facilities reflects a systematic
pattern of aggression and represents a highly dangerous escalation
and a direct threat to the safety and security of civilians.

The ministry said the attacks constitute a flagrant violation of
international law, international humanitarian law, the United Nations
Charter, and U.N. Security Council Resolution 2817, holding Iran
fully responsible, both legally and morally, for the attacks and any
resulting consequences.

Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry stressed that the country reserves its full
right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its security and
defend its territory and critical infrastructure against any attack
or threat, based on its inherent right to self-defense under Article
51 of the UN Charter and the rules of international law.
