Kuwait has issued a sharp condemnation of what it described as repeated Iranian attacks on its territory, the latest of which took place on Wednesday morning.

The Kuwaiti foreign ministry, in a statement carried by state news agency KUNA, said the strikes constituted a flagrant violation of Kuwait’s sovereignty, a direct threat to its security and stability, and a serious breach of international law, the UN Charter, and Security Council Resolution 2817.

The ministry said the continuation of these attacks while regional and international efforts toward de-escalation are under way amounts to systematic sabotage of those efforts, and a disregard for the international will behind them.

Kuwait reaffirmed that its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens and residents represent a red line that cannot be crossed. The ministry said Kuwait reserves its full and legitimate right to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and preserve its security and stability.
