GCC Secretary-General Condemns Treacherous Iranian Attacks on Kingdom of Bahrain

Riyadh -- The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jassem Al-Budaiwi, on Sunday expressed his strong condemnation and outrage over the treacherous Iranian attacks targeting the Kingdom of Bahrain using drones. In a statement, Al-Budaiwi said that the continuation of these hostile acts constitutes a blatant violation of Bahrain’s sovereignty, a dangerous disregard for international law and the UN Charter, and an open challenge to regional and international efforts aimed at achieving security and stability. He added that Iran’s insistence on repeating its attacks on Bahrain poses a direct threat to the security and stability of the region, emphasizing that such practices contradict the principles of good neighborliness and represent a clear violation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions, which necessitate a firm international stance to halt these attacks and hold those responsible accountable. Al-Budaiwi reaffirmed the GCC states’ full solidarity with Bahrain and their support for all measures it takes to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens and residents on its territory, stressing that Bahrain’s security is an integral part of the shared Gulf security and that any infringement on the sovereignty of any member state is an infringement on the security of all GCC states.
