Kuwait Condemns the Blameworthy Iranian Attack on Two ADNOC-Linked Tankers

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Kuwait’s strong condemnation and denunciation of the Iranian attack on two tankers belonging to the UAE’s ADNOC company as they transited the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that targeting commercial vessels and international sea lanes constitutes a violation of international law and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817, and poses a threat to the security of maritime navigation, the stability of energy supplies, and international trade.

The Ministry stressed the necessity of halting all actions that could escalate tensions in the region, respecting freedom of navigation and safe passage through international waterways, and fully and unconditionally reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

It also reaffirmed Kuwait’s full solidarity with the sister state of the United Arab Emirates, standing by its side in all measures it takes to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and interests.
