Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jassem Al-Budaiwi confirmed that Gulf states have been subjected to more than 7,000 Iranian missile and drone attacks since February last year. In a briefing before the UN Security Council on Friday, Al-Budaiwi added, “We hold Iran responsible for the attacks and reject its claims aimed at justifying the targeting of our countries.” He clarified, “We reject any infringement on the security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of GCC states, and we strongly condemn the criminal attacks that constitute a blatant violation of the sovereignty of GCC states.” He continued, “We reject any attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz, disrupt navigation through it, or impose restrictions or fees.” Regarding the Houthi militias, Al-Budaiwi stated, “We condemn the terrorist attacks by the Houthis against commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab.” He added, “The Houthi militia continues to escalate tensions and undermine peace efforts, despite previous UN initiatives.”
