Shafaq News- Kuwait City/ Manama
Kuwait and Bahrain, on Sunday,
condemned renewed Iranian missile and drone attacks on their territories as
violations of their sovereignty after the latest exchange of strikes between
the United States and Iran.
Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry described the
assaults as a direct threat to the country’s security, stability, and the
safety of citizens and residents, as well as a breach of international law and
the UN Charter.

Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry said the
strikes breached Iran’s commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of
Understanding, signed on June 17, 2026, which called for a permanent halt to
military operations and respect for the sovereignty of regional states. The
ministry urged the UN Security Council to convene an emergency session to hold
those responsible accountable, warning that the attacks threatened the
collective security of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

Earlier today, US Central Command
(CENTCOM) announced that US Navy and Air Force aircraft struck 10 Iranian
military targets in and near the Strait of Hormuz, including missile and drone
storage sites and coastal radar facilities, in response to Iran’s drone attack
on the M/T Kiku. President Donald Trump said Iran violated the ceasefire
agreement and warned that further Iranian breaches could prompt the US to “militarily complete the job that
we very successfully started.”
Kuwait’s military later said its air
defenses intercepted “hostile” missiles and drones without
identifying their source, while local media reported that Ali Al-Salem Air
Base, which hosts US forces, had been targeted. Bahraini media also reported
missile and drone attacks targeting Sheikh Isa Air Base.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the operation, saying it had targeted
eight US military infrastructure sites at Kuwait’s Ali Al-Salem Air Base and the US Fifth
Fleet headquarters in Bahrain’s Salman Port in response to the American
strikes. It accused Washington of violating the Islamabad memorandum and cautioned
that any further breach would halt all processes under the agreement.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry separately
condemned the US strikes on monitoring and surveillance facilities along the
country’s southern coast, calling them violations of the UN Charter. It
reaffirmed Tehran’s determination to defend the country’s sovereignty and
territorial integrity against what it called US military aggression.
The latest exchange followed similar
attacks a day earlier, when the IRGC said it had struck US military positions in
the Middle East after American airstrikes on Iran’s southern coast. Bahrain
subsequently denounced an Iranian drone attack on its territory as a
“flagrant violation” of its sovereignty.
