Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit strongly condemned the illegal and hostile infiltration by elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps into Kuwait’s Bubyan Island, and their clash with the Kuwaiti Armed Forces, which resulted in the injury of one of its members. This incident constitutes a blatant violation of Kuwait’s sovereignty and security, and a flagrant breach of international law, the principles of the United Nations Charter, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026).
Aboul Gheit emphasized that this armed Iranian infiltration of the Kuwaiti island represents a dangerous precedent that cannot be ignored, and a serious escalation that must be exposed and countered, as it reveals a deliberate intent to destabilize regional stability at a highly sensitive time.
He stressed his rejection of the systematic Iranian escalation over recent days, which has targeted several Arab Gulf states through missile and drone attacks on Gulf lands and waters, culminating in the attempted land infiltration of Kuwait’s Bubyan Island. He called on Iran to immediately halt all hostile actions against Arab states, holding it fully responsible for these acts and their consequences.
Jamal Rashidi, spokesperson for the Arab League Secretary-General, conveyed the Secretary-General’s full solidarity with Kuwait and its right to legitimate self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, and support for all measures deemed necessary to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity. He affirmed that Kuwait’s security is an integral part of Arab national security, and that any threat to Kuwait is unequivocally condemned and rejected.
