GCC chief condemns Iranian drone attacks on Bahrain

Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary-General Jasem Mohammed Albudaiwi strongly condemned the Iranian attacks targeting the Kingdom of Bahrain using drones.

Albudaiwi said that the continuation of such hostile acts constitutes a blatant violation of Bahrain’s sovereignty, a disregard for international law and the UN Charter, and a challenge to regional and international efforts to achieve security and stability.

He stressed that Iran’s persistence in repeating these attacks poses a direct threat to the security and stability of the region, contradicts the principles of good neighborliness, and violates relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

Albudaiwi called for a firm international stance to halt these attacks and hold those responsible accountable.

He reiterated the GCC states’ full solidarity with Bahrain and support for all measures it takes to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens and residents, affirming that Bahrain’s security is an integral part of the collective security of the Gulf.
