THE Arab League and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have united in a wave of strong diplomatic condemnation of Tehran following Iran’s series of coordinated missile and drone strikes targeting vital civilian and utility infrastructure across several countries in West Asia, including Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a powerful political, economic, and military alliance comprising six Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. While the Arab League is a regional intergovernmental organisation of 22 states across the Middle East, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. They labelled the military escalation a severe breach of international law, warning of catastrophic wider security repercussions.
The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Jassim Al-Budaiwi, forcefully denounced the strikes on civilian infrastructure. In a statement carried by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), Al-Budaiwi emphasised the extreme danger of the current escalation.
“What Iran has undertaken is an extremely dangerous escalation and a grave violation of international law and the United Nations Charter, and war crimes that necessitate international accountability and prosecution,” Al-Budaiwi stated. Echoing these concerns, Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy warned that the reckless offensive represents a deliberate attempt by Tehran to expand the theatre of war.
