Arab League Secretary-General Reiterates Rejection of Iranian Attacks on Arab States

Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy reiterated his condemnation of Iran's continued attacks against several Arab states, affirming that such actions constitute a violation of international law and the United Nations Charter and threaten regional security, stability, and the freedom of international navigation. In a statement, Fahmy rejected any practices that infringe on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Arab states, stressing that Arab national security is indivisible and that any attack on the sovereignty of any Arab state requires a unified Arab position. The secretary-general reaffirmed the Arab League's full solidarity with the State of Kuwait, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Sultanate of Oman, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, calling on the Security Council to take effective steps to halt these violations and ensure respect for international law and the security of international navigation. Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Sunday targeting US military facilities in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions following US strikes on Iranian targets.
