The ministry reaffirmed the UAE’s full solidarity with Bahrain and Kuwait, expressing its support for all measures aimed at preserving their security and stability.
Earlier, Bahrain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned what it described as a renewed Iranian attack on the kingdom, saying its territory was once again targeted with ballistic missiles and drones.
The ministry said Sunday’s attack, on June 28, confirmed the kingdom’s earlier warnings, adding that Iran had continued its attacks despite international condemnation and its own pledges. It said the repeated strikes would neither impose a new reality nor weaken Bahrain’s resolve.
Furthermore, Kuwait’s Ministry of Defence said its forces detected two hostile ballistic missiles in Kuwaiti airspace at dawn today and intercepted them in line with standard operational procedures.
Earlier, Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning what it described as repeated and “heinous” Iranian aggression against the country.
