AMMAN — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday condemned Iranian attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait, including a strike on a power and water desalination facility, as a “blatant” violation of the two countries’ sovereignty and a threat to their security, stability and territorial integrity.
In a statement, the ministry said that the attacks represent a serious escalation and a “clear breach” of international law and the UN Charter.
The ministry reiterated Jordan’s solidarity with Bahrain and Kuwait and expressed support for all measures taken by the two countries to protect their sovereignty, security and the safety of their citizens and residents.
Kuwait accused Iran on Saturday of targeting civilian sites and vital infrastructure in the country, after reporting attacks on an oil facility and a power and water plant.
"The repeated targeting of these vital facilities reveals a systematic hostile approach targeting civilian sites and vital infrastructure that endangers the lives and safety of civilians," Kuwait’s foreign ministry said.
Bahrain's army said its "air defence systems thwarted" a wave of Iranian attacks on Saturday, as an AFP journalist in Manama reported hearing blasts after sirens sounded.
