US, Arab Nations Slam Tehran's Drone, Missile Strikes in West Asia

The United States and six Arab nations on Monday issued a strongly worded joint statement condemning Iran’s recent missile and drone attacks across West Asia, describing them as “indiscriminate,” “reckless,” and a dangerous escalation threatening regional stability.

 The statement was released by the governments of the United States, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. 

It followed a wave of Iranian strikes targeting multiple countries in the region in retaliation



for US–Israel strikes on Iran that reportedly led to the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and members of his family.

“The United States, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates strongly condemn the Islamic Republic of Iran’s indiscriminate and reckless missile and drone attacks against sovereign territories across the region, including Bahrain, Iraq — including the Iraqi Kurdistan Region — Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
