Gulf leaders have strongly condemned Iranian attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, warning that the assaults threaten regional stability, global trade and energy supplies. The criticism came as tensions intensified following fresh military exchanges involving Iran and the United States.
Foreign ministers from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) condemned what they described as "brutal Iranian aggression" during the bloc's 167th ministerial meeting in Manama, Bahrain.
The gathering took place amid growing regional tensions after Iran launched attacks targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, all key allies of the United States and hosts to American military personnel.
Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Alzayani said the attacks had targeted infrastructure, economic facilities and residential areas, resulting in significant human and material losses.
