The United States, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have issued a joint statement strongly condemning Iran's attacks on neighboring countries.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the information was released by CNN. The coalition of nations expressed deep concern over the escalating military activities originating from Tehran.
"The actions of the Islamic Republic of Iran represent a dangerous escalation that violates the sovereignty of many states and threatens regional stability. Attacks on civilians and countries not involved in military operations constitute reckless and destabilizing behavior," the statement reads.
The signatory nations emphasized their unity in defending their citizens, sovereignty, and territories. They further reaffirmed their inherent right to self-defense in the face of such external aggressions, calling for an immediate cessation of activities that undermine collective security in the Middle East.
This diplomatic move comes amid heightened tensions in the region, where Iran-backed proxies and direct military interventions have frequently disrupted international shipping lanes and regional security frameworks. The involvement of US President Donald Trump's administration in coordinating with Gulf allies underscores a strategic shift toward a unified front against regional threats. Such joint declarations are often seen as a precursor to increased security cooperation and potential economic measures aimed at deterring further escalations in the Persian Gulf and surrounding areas.
