Egypt strongly condemned the Iranian military attacks targeting Kuwait, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and other Gulf nations.
In an official statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cairo described the hostilities as a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of these nations and a serious threat to the security and stability of the entire region. Egyptian authorities emphasized that the attacks represent an unacceptable escalation capable of significantly aggravating regional tensions. The Ministry reaffirmed its absolute rejection of any hostile action that undermines the security and sovereignty of brotherly Arab states or compromises regional stability, while renewing its urgent call for immediate restraint and de-escalation to preserve peace.
Furthermore, Egypt reiterated that no justification could legitimize these repeated Iranian actions, noting that the security and stability of the Gulf States are inextricably linked to the national security of Egypt and the wider region. The text explicitly expressed Egypt’s full solidarity with Kuwait and the Kingdom of Bahrain, declaring that Cairo stands firmly alongside them in the face of any threat.
The diplomatic condemnation comes amid a massive flare-up in regional violence. Denouncing a series of Iranian actions as a flagrant violation of an active ceasefire, the United States military launched powerful counter-strikes targeting more than 80 locations inside Iran. According to a detailed statement from the US Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, the American precision strikes focused heavily on neutralizing Iranian air defense systems, coastal radar networks, and maritime offensive capabilities.
In direct response to those American bombardments, Iran claimed responsibility for launching a massive joint drone and missile operation against US installations located within Kuwait and Bahrain. Tehran framed the retaliatory strikes as a necessary response to the bombardment of its southern coastal provinces by the United States. Iranian officials maintain that the American actions constituted a direct and unlawful breach of the bilateral agreement previously concluded between Tehran and Washington to pause hostilities.
