The Arab League strongly condemned Iran’s attacks on several Gulf countries, calling them deliberate and unprovoked. The organization warned that these strikes threaten regional stability and international security. During a virtual meeting led by Bahrain’s Foreign Minister, Arab foreign ministers expressed concern over attacks targeting Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iraq. These attacks have hit residential areas, vital infrastructure, diplomatic missions, and hotels, which the league described as an aggressive violation of state sovereignty and a threat to civilians.
The Arab League fully supports the affected countries’ right to defend themselves individually or collectively. The ministers emphasized their solidarity with the targeted nations and expressed confidence in regional military forces and air defenses to protect against further attacks.
The organization also criticized Iran’s threats to close the Strait of Hormuz and disrupt navigation in the Bab al-Mandab, warning that such actions could endanger global energy supplies and international trade. The Arab League urged Iran to follow United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 of 2026 and stop all forms of aggression immediately.
Additionally, the league called on Iran to end its support for armed groups in Arab countries, which it described as a serious threat to regional security. In Lebanon, the ministers supported the country’s sovereignty and welcomed recent government actions to limit Hezbollah’s security and military activities. The Arab League reaffirmed its commitment to a two-state solution for the Palestinian issue and called for renewed international efforts to achieve lasting peace in the region.
