Yemen strongly condemns Iranian attacks on Kuwait and Jordan

The Yemeni government strongly condemned on Friday new Iranian attacks targeting Kuwait and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, describing them as a serious escalation and a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the two countries, as well as of the principles of international law and the United Nations Charter, posing a direct threat to the security and stability of the region.

In a statement received by KUNA, the Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed the full solidarity of the Republic of Yemen with Kuwait and Jordan, and Yemen’s steadfast support for them in all lawful measures they take to protect their security, sovereignty, and the safety of their citizens.

The ministry placed full responsibility on the Iranian regime for continuing this aggressive approach, stressing that its danger is not limited to targeting Arab states but extends to undermining regional security and stability, and fueling chaos and violence through escalation policies, the use of proxies, and armed groups to destabilize the region and threaten international navigation and civilian infrastructure.

The ministry reiterated that experience has shown that turning a blind eye to such practices has only led to further escalation and a widening of the threat, necessitating a firmer international stance to deter the Iranian regime, enforce the rules of international law, and cut off sources of support for terrorist groups and armed militias, which represent one of the most dangerous tools for undermining security and stability in the region.
