Egypt condemns Iranian attacks on Gulf states

Egypt has strongly condemned Iran’s repeated attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain and other Gulf states, describing them as a flagrant violation of sovereignty and an unacceptable escalation that threatens regional stability.

In a Foreign Ministry statement issued on Wednesday, Cairo said it rejected all actions that infringe on the security of fellow Arab states and called for restraint and de-escalation to preserve peace in the region.

Egypt expressed full solidarity with Kuwait and Bahrain and affirmed its support for them in confronting threats to their security, adding that the stability of the Gulf was an integral part of Egypt’s own security and that of the wider region.

“There is no justification or excuse for these repeated and reprehensible Iranian attacks,” the statement said.
