RIYADH: Saudi Arabia on Tuesday condemned attacks carried out by Iran and factions backed by Tehran on Kuwaiti border posts, an offshore drilling platform operated by Kuwait Oil Company, the Kuwaiti consulate in Basra, and two Emirati oil tankers.
The Kingdom also condemned Iranian attacks on Jordan, Bahrain, and Qatar.
The United Arab Emirates’ Defense Ministry said early Tuesday that Iran attacked two tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one mariner and wounding eight others.
Bahrain also came under renewed attack early Tuesday morning as Iran retaliated over the latest round of US airstrikes. Bahrain sounded its missile alert siren, urging the public to seek shelter.
Kuwait’s armed forces said they were responding to “hostile aerial targets” on Monday and again on Tuesday evening.
