Gulf and Arab states joined the United States in condemning Iran’s “indiscriminate and reckless missile and drone attacks.”
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and the United States issued a statement on Sunday saying, “These unprovoked attacks targeted sovereign territory, endangered civilian populations, and damaged civilian infrastructure.”
They strongly condemned “Iran’s indiscriminate and reckless missile and drone attacks against sovereign territory across the region.”
The Iranian government’s actions “represent a dangerous escalation that violates the sovereignty of multiple states and threatens regional stability.”
“Targeting civilians and countries not taking part in hostilities is a reckless and destabilizing act,” the statement said.
“We stand united in defense of our people, sovereignty and territory, and reaffirm our right to self-defense in the face of such attacks,” the Arab states and the United States said.
He also highlighted regional security efforts and praised effective air and missile defense cooperation that prevented far greater loss of life and destruction.
