Saudi Arabia condemns Iranian attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait
Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned what it called “the flagrant Iranian aggression and blatant violation of the sovereignty” of Bahrain and Kuwait, including the targeting of Kuwait International Airport.
The country’s foreign ministry says in a statement posted on X that “The Kingdom reiterates that these violations undermine international efforts to restore security and stability in the region”.
“The Kingdom reaffirms its solidarity with the Kingdom of Bahrain and the State of Kuwait and its full support for all measures they take to preserve their sovereignty, security, and stability,” the statement adds.
