He reiterated his country's support for all efforts aimed at containing escalation and reaching a comprehensive agreement that contributes to consolidating security and stability and achieving sustainable peace in the region.

Gulf states are currently enhancing their level of coordination following Iran's violation of the terms of the memorandum of understanding and its escalation by targeting oil tankers in Hormuz and attacking Kuwait and Bahrain.
