Kuwait has condemned the “repeated Iranian aggressions” against it in the strongest terms.

In a statement, its foreign ministry said the latest attack “disregards international demands calling for an end to these practices and shows utter indifference to the direct threat they pose to the lives of citizens and residents, as well as to the security and stability of the region”.

Terming it a blatant breach of international law, Kuwait said the attack represented a “dangerous escalation that drives the region toward further tension and turmoil, at a time when the international community is exerting tireless efforts to halt combat operations and spare the region additional escalation”.

The ministry reiterated that Kuwait reserved its “full right to take all necessary measures to preserve its security and defend its territories and vital facilities against any aggression or threat”.
