Yemen strongly condemns Iranian attacks on Kuwait and Jordan: a dangerous escalation and a blatant violation of the sovereignty of both countries

The Yemeni government, on Friday, strongly condemned the new Iranian attacks targeting Kuwait and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, describing them as a serious escalation and a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the two countries, as well as of the principles of international law and the UN Charter, posing a direct threat to the security and stability of the region.

The Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement received by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), reaffirmed the full solidarity of the Republic of Yemen with Kuwait and Jordan, and its support for them in all legitimate measures they take to protect their security, sovereignty, and the safety of their citizens.

The ministry reiterated that experience has shown that turning a blind eye to such practices has only led to further escalation and an expansion of the threat, necessitating a firmer international stance to deter the Iranian regime, enforce the rules of international law, and cut off sources of support for terrorist groups and armed militias, which represent one of the most dangerous tools for undermining security and stability in the region.

The ministry placed full responsibility on the Iranian regime for continuing this aggressive approach, emphasizing that its danger is not limited to targeting Arab states, but extends to undermining regional security and peace, and fueling chaos and violence through escalation policies and the use of proxies and armed groups to destabilize the region and threaten international navigation and civilian facilities.
