His Excellency Jasem Mohamed Al Budaiwi, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, expressed his strongest condemnation and denunciation of Iran's continued behaviour destabilising the security and stability of the region, its repeated aggressive targeting of the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and its serious attacks on commercial vessels.
His Excellency affirmed that Iran's behaviour constitutes a grave violation of the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, and Security Council Resolution 2817, as well as an undermining of the security and freedom of navigation.
His Excellency noted that these repeated Iranian aggressive attacks not only obstruct all efforts aimed at achieving security and stability in the region, but also reveal a systematic insistence on entrenching chaos, in blatant defiance of international law and the international will seeking to establish peace.
His Excellency stressed that the Gulf Cooperation Council supports all measures taken by the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to enhance their security, preserve their sovereignty, and protect their peoples and residents on their territories.
