Earlier, Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning what it described as repeated and “heinous” Iranian aggression against the country.
The ministry said the latest attack, which occurred at dawn, constitutes a flagrant violation of Kuwait’s sovereignty and a direct threat to its security, stability, and the safety of those on its territory, in clear breach of international law and the UN Charter.
It added that continued aggression, at a time of regional and international efforts to de-escalate tensions, undermines peace initiatives and represents a direct challenge to international will supporting stability.
Kuwait reaffirmed that it reserves its full right to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty, security, and people.
