ISTANBUL, Turkiye: Kuwait condemned on Sunday Iranian attacks on its territory as a “dangerous escalation” that exacerbates tension and instability in West Asia, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
“These attacks reflect a persistent and repeated hostile approach and constitute a grave violation” of Kuwait’s sovereignty, the Foreign Ministry said on the United States (US) social media company X.
Stating that the attacks were in breach of international law, the ministry said Kuwait “reserves the full right to take whatever measures are necessary to protect its security” in line with international law and the UN Charter.
Tehran said early Sunday that it launched attacks on US military sites in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Oman, while the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said that it had intercepted and responded to Iranian missile and drone strikes.
The US said late Saturday that it had completed a third round of military strikes against Iran this week following another Iranian attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. – BERNAMA-ANADOLU
