Kuwait: Iran bears full responsibility for targeting vital facilities

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the State of Kuwait’s strongest condemnation and rejection of the culpable Iranian aggression that occurred this morning, which targeted another power plant and water desalination facility, in a direct attack on a vital civilian infrastructure.

It affirmed that the repeated deliberate targeting of vital and civilian facilities reflects a systematic aggressive approach, constitutes a highly dangerous escalation, and poses a serious threat to the safety and security of civilians. This constitutes a blatant violation of the provisions of international law, international humanitarian law, the United Nations Charter, and Security Council Resolution 2817, holding Iran fully legally and morally responsible for these serious attacks and their ensuing repercussions and consequences.

The Ministry emphasized that the State of Kuwait reserves its full right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its security and defend its territory and vital facilities against any aggression or threat, based on its inherent right to self-defense, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and the rules of international law.
