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

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

It emphasized 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.

The Ministry also reiterated 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.
