Manama, Bahrain – The Kingdom of Bahrain strongly condemned the Iranian attack targeting the State of Kuwait with missiles and drones, which was claimed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
It stated that the attack constitutes a blatant violation of Kuwait’s sovereignty, security, and stability.
Furthermore, it contravenes the principles of good neighborliness and international law.
In an official statement, the Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed the Kingdom’s full solidarity with the State of Kuwait.
It also declared its support for all measures taken by Kuwait to preserve
its sovereignty and national security in the face of escalating security threats.
Bahraini condemnation and solidarity with Kuwait
Bahrain emphasized its solidarity with Kuwait, both its government and people.
It affirmed that the security of the Gulf states is a shared priority.
Furthermore, it stated that any attack targeting a Gulf state constitutes a direct threat to the region’s security and stability.
The Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs commended the readiness of the Kuwaiti armed forces
and their ability to effectively and efficiently repel the attack.

among the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states to confront regional challenges.
Bahrain considered the use of missiles and drones in targeting Kuwait a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security.

that target the sovereignty of states and the security of their people.
Escalating Gulf stances
