Manama: All member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan expressed their unified, joint stance condemning the treacherous aggression launched by Iran and its proxies on their territories, grounded in the successive positions adopted by the GCC Ministerial Council, the Council of Foreign Ministers of the League of Arab States, international law, and United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026).
The seven states underline that Iran’s attacks on their territories, citizens, and civilian infrastructure have continued uninterrupted since 28 February 2026, and following the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the United States of America and Iran on 17 June 2026. These attacks have escalated particularly against the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, encompassing strikes on energy facilities, water desalination plants, ports, airports, and other civilian objects.
The seven states stress that these ongoing attacks constitute explicit acts of aggression violating the UN Charter, international law, international humanitarian law, UN Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026), and the explicit commitments made by Iran under the MoU, posing a threat to international peace and security.
