Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan have all condemned Iran’s missile and drone strikes on the UAE, with Riyadh issuing some of the region’s sharpest language following an attack that left three people injured.
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Iranian targeting of civilian and economic facilities in the UAE “in the strongest terms,” calling on Tehran to halt the attacks, respect UN Security Council resolutions, and observe the principles of good neighbourliness. The Kingdom affirmed full solidarity with the UAE in all measures it takes to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Kuwait’s foreign ministry described the strikes as a “flagrant violation” of UAE sovereignty, warning that continued escalation threatens regional stability and undermines efforts to reduce tensions. The ministry also expressed its wishes for a quick recovery for those wounded.
Bahrain echoed that language, calling the attacks a violation of international law and principles of good neighbourliness, while reaffirming its solidarity under GCC defence commitments. Qatar condemned the attack specifically, noting it involved two ballistic missiles and three drones, and backed the UAE’s right to take all measures necessary to protect its security.
Egypt said the “continuous and repeated” nature of the strikes made them a direct threat to regional security and a clear breach of the UN Charter. Jordan’s foreign ministry similarly denounced them as a threat to the UAE’s territorial integrity.
Syria also joined the condemnations, with its foreign ministry affirming solidarity with the UAE and describing the attacks as a flagrant violation of international law.
