The Gulf Cooperation Council issued a statement strongly condemning Iranian drone and ballistic missile attacks against Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, calling them a "blatant violation of international law and state sovereignty." The Council expressed full solidarity with the targeted nations, affirmed that an attack on one member is an attack on all, and held Iran "fully responsible," demanding an immediate end to the attacks. It also called on the UN Security Council and the international community to "hold those responsible accountable."
The Gulf Cooperation Council's condemnation marks a significant diplomatic escalation in the regional standoff with Iran. The statement, issued after the GCC's emergency session, comes as the latest in a series of SAME-THREAD developments The Zioneer has previously reported. On June 10, Iran launched a wave of drones and ballistic missiles targeting US assets and Gulf states, including Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. Those attacks followed US airstrikes on Iranian air defense systems near the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier bulletins detailed the activation of air defenses in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, as well as the IRGC's claims of striking the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. The GCC's binding language—“an attack on one member is an attack on all” and “hold those responsible accountable”—suggests a move toward collective security measures and a potential unified international legal complaint, though no specific retaliatory steps have been announced.
