Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry issued a sharp condemnation of Iran on June 10, 2026, after a series of missile and drone strikes hit three Arab nations. The attacks targeted Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, killing one person and injuring 63 others at Kuwait International Airport.
The Saudi statement labeled the strikes “brutal attacks” and a flagrant violation of sovereignty.
What happened and why it matters beyond the region
The current escalation traces back to February 28, 2026, when US and Israeli forces initiated strikes on Iran. Tehran responded with retaliatory attacks targeting Gulf countries and energy infrastructure, setting off a cycle of violence that has now stretched well into its fourth month.
The US and multiple Arab states issued joint statements condemning what they called Iran’s “indiscriminate and reckless” aggression. Saudi Arabia emphasized that the attacks undermine ongoing de-escalation efforts and threaten both regional and international security.
