Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi has condemned Iranian attacks against Bahrain and Kuwait, calling them a “dangerous and unprecedented escalation”, Anadolu reports.

In a statement, Albudaiwi denounces the attacks on “civilian objects, infrastructure, headquarters and diplomatic missions” in the two Gulf states.

He adds that the attacks constitute a “dangerous and unprecedented escalation” and reflect the “Iranian regime’s insistence on pursuing rejected hostile policies targeting the security, stability and sovereignty of the GCC states“.

Albudaiwi further says that the continued attacks demonstrate Iran’s persistence in pursuing policies aimed at undermining regional security “in blatant defiance of international law, the UN Charter and all international norms”.
