RIYADH: Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi on Saturday condemned Iranian attacks on civilian facilities in Kuwait, saying they represent “a continuation of its hostile approach to destabilising security and stability in the region”.
In a statement, GCC chief Albudaiwi said the attacks targeted a government facility and civilian vehicles belonging to a private company on Bubiyan Island.
Albudaiwi said, “These sinful Iranian attacks represent a continuation of Iran’s hostile approach to destabilising security and stability in the region.”
He described them as “a blatant aggression and flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait” and “a direct threat to its security, stability and the safety of its citizens and residents”.
“They constitute a blatant assault, a flagrant violation of the State of Kuwait’s sovereignty, a direct threat to its security, stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents, as well as a grave violation of the principles of international law and the United Nations Charter,” he said.
