Iran said earlier it had carried out strikes against targets linked to US forces in the region, without identifying the targets or saying where they were located.
Meanwhile, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi strongly condemned a series of treacherous drone attacks launched by Iran against civilian infrastructure in Bahrain, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Albudaiwi pointed out that the continuous targeting of civilian facilities and critical infrastructure amid ongoing regional and international peace initiatives clearly underscores a deliberate desire to undermine efforts aimed at containing crises and obstructing regional stability.
He reaffirmed the GCC’s absolute support for all security and defensive measures taken by Bahrain to safeguard its national sovereignty, ensure public safety, and protect its territorial integrity.
