Lebanon’s president condemns attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait

Published June 28, 2026 Updated June 28, 2026 02:40pm

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun says, “These escalatory acts constitute a flagrant violation of state sovereignty and a direct threat to the security and stability of the region,” Al Jazeera reports.

A statement released by his office said Aoun viewed the ongoing attacks within the framework of undermining “all regional and international efforts and initiatives aimed at halting the war and containing the tensions”.

The situation “necessitates urgent action by the sponsors of the US-Iranian memorandum of understanding and the international community”.

The president also affirmed Lebanon’s “full solidarity with Bahrain and Kuwait”.
