Kuwait's Foreign Ministry condemned repeated Iranian missile and drone attacks on Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates on Thursday [3].
The condemnation marks a significant diplomatic escalation in the Gulf region, highlighting growing tensions over territorial sovereignty and the security of civilian infrastructure.
In a formal statement, the ministry said the strikes were a "serious escalation" and a flagrant violation of Kuwaiti sovereignty and international law [2]. The ministry specifically pointed to the use of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles to target the region [2].
Officials said the actions were "treacherous terrorist attacks" that targeted civilian sites and facilities [1]. The ministry said these actions undermine the security and territorial integrity of the affected nations [3].
Kuwait emphasized that the repeated nature of these aggressions against the UAE and Kuwait constitutes a breach of global legal norms [3]. The government called for an immediate cessation of such activities to prevent further instability in the region [2].
The ministry said the attacks represent a direct threat to national security and the safety of the land [3]. This diplomatic response follows the physical strikes that occurred earlier this week [3].
“Targeting [the country] with missiles and drones is a serious escalation and a flagrant violation of the country's sovereignty.”
This diplomatic condemnation signals a hardening of Kuwait's stance toward Iran, moving from cautious neutrality to explicit condemnation of military incursions. By framing the attacks as 'terrorist' and a violation of international law, Kuwait is aligning itself with the UAE and potentially seeking broader international support or sanctions to deter further Iranian drone and missile activity in the Gulf.
