Foreign Ministry: The attacks are a grave violation of international law

For its part, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the country's strongest condemnation and denunciation of the repeated Iranian aggressions against 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.

The ministry reiterated that the continuation of these blatant attacks, at a time when regional and international efforts aimed at de-escalation are underway, constitutes a systematic undermining of efforts to reduce tensions and defies the international will supporting this course.

The ministry stressed that the security, sovereignty, and safety of the citizens and residents of the State of Kuwait are a red line that cannot be crossed, reaffirming that the State of Kuwait reserves its legitimate right to take all necessary measures to preserve its sovereignty and protect its security and stability.
