The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its strongest condemnation of the heinous attacks targeting several vital facilities in the sisterly State of Kuwait. The Ministry clarified that these attacks, carried out by Iran, its proxies, and affiliated groups, represent a dangerous escalation that threatens the security and stability of the entire region.
The context of regional tensions and their impact
These developments come at a highly sensitive regional juncture, as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states strive to bolster security and stability and spare the region the ravages of conflict. Historically, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states have consistently emphasized the importance of respecting the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. However, the continued use of drones and guided weapons by externally supported armed groups represents a recurring pattern aimed at destabilizing the energy infrastructure and economies of Arab states.
A firm stance against violations of international law
In its official statement, the Kingdom stressed its categorical rejection of these attacks on the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait, considering them a blatant violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations. Riyadh affirmed that these ongoing violations directly undermine all international and regional efforts aimed at restoring security and stability in the Middle East region. The Kingdom demanded an immediate cessation of all hostile acts perpetrated by Iran and its proxies against Arab and Islamic countries, emphasizing the importance of implementing international resolutions, foremost among them Security Council Resolution 2817 of 2026.

Local, regional and international repercussions
These attacks have far-reaching consequences. Domestically, they aim to disrupt vital infrastructure that impacts the lives of Kuwaiti citizens and harms the national economy. Regionally, they pose a direct threat to the collective security of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, whose security is considered indivisible. Internationally, such attacks raise serious concerns about the security of global energy supplies, given Kuwait's strategic position as one of the world's leading oil producers and exporters, making its stability a paramount international interest.
Firm Saudi-Kuwaiti solidarity
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs published its official statement on its verified account on the “X” platform, reaffirming Saudi Arabia’s firm stance before the international community. This swift diplomatic move reflects the Saudi leadership’s commitment to unifying Arab and Gulf ranks in the face of shared security challenges. Ongoing coordination between Riyadh and Kuwait is a cornerstone in countering any external attempts to undermine developmental and economic achievements.
In closing, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reiterated its unwavering solidarity with the sisterly State of Kuwait, its leadership, government, and people. Riyadh affirmed its full and comprehensive support for all security and legal measures taken by the Kuwaiti authorities to preserve its sovereignty, protect its territory, and ensure the security and stability of its brotherly people in the face of these blatant threats.
