Iran’s claims that all six Gulf Cooperation Council member states are responsible for military operations are “baseless”, the bloc’s Secretary‑General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi has said, Al Jazeera reports.

Albudaiwi also reiterated his strong condemnation of Iran’s “continued blatant and treacherous attacks on GCC member states, including the deliberate targeting of infrastructure and oil facilities”.

His comments come amid a growing rift between Iran and the Gulf countries – Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait and Oman.
