US, Gulf States Condemn Iran Strikes as Unjustified Attack on Sovereign Territory

The United States, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates issued a joint statement strongly condemning the recent Iranian attacks across the region, asserting that the strikes were unjustified assaults targeting sovereign territories.

The joint declaration denounced the "reckless and indiscriminate" actions undertaken by Iran, characterizing the strikes as a significant escalation that violates the sovereignty of multiple nations. The participating states emphasized their inherent right to self-defense in response to these Iranian aggressions, noting the direct threat posed to civilian populations.

The statement further specified that Iran's targeting of civilians and states not engaged in hostilities constitutes irresponsible behavior. It underscored the unified stance of the Gulf nations and the U.S. in defending their respective citizens, sovereignty, and land.

The collective declaration reaffirmed the commitment of the United States and the Gulf partners to regional security while unequivocally asserting their right to defend themselves against further Iranian military actions.
