The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jassem Al-Budaiwi, placed full responsibility on Iran for the attacks targeting GCC member states, which constitute a blatant violation of international law, calling on Tehran to immediately cease its threats and attacks and to stop supporting militias.
In his address to the UN Security Council, Al-Budaiwi emphasized that the security of GCC member states is indivisible, reaffirming their legitimate right to self-defense and urging the Security Council to fulfill its legal and international responsibilities to ensure that Iranian attacks do not recur.
Al-Budaiwi confirmed that Gulf states have been subjected to Iranian attacks since last February, involving more than 7,000 missiles and drones.
He stated, “We reject any infringement on the security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of GCC member states, and we strongly condemn the criminal attacks that represent a blatant violation of their sovereignty.”
He added, “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 said, “We condemn the terrorist attacks by the Houthis against commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab.”
He further noted, “The Houthi militia continues to escalate tensions and undermine peace efforts, despite previous UN initiatives.”
