Doha: The State of Qatar has issued a strong condemnation of recent Iranian attacks on civilian targets in the Kingdom of Bahrain and the State of Kuwait, including an assault on Kuwait International Airport that caused significant damage and injuries. Qatar described these actions as severe violations of the sovereignty of Bahrain and Kuwait, as well as breaches of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols.

The statement underlined the importance of protecting the region from the effects of such unprovoked aggression and highlighted the need for de-escalation to restore both regional and global peace and security.
