The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed on Wednesday the State of Kuwait's strongest condemnation and denunciation of the repeated Iranian attacks on the State of Kuwait, the latest of which occurred this morning, in a flagrant violation of its sovereignty, a direct threat to its security, stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents on its territory, and a grave violation of the rules of international law, the United Nations Charter, and Security Council Resolution 2817.

In a statement, the ministry reiterated that 'the continuation of these blatant attacks, at a time when regional and international efforts towards de-escalation are underway, constitutes a systematic undermining of de-escalation efforts and defies the international will supporting this path.'
