Egypt has repeatedly condemned Iranian attacks targeting Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, describing them as a dangerous escalation and a flagrant violation of sovereignty. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued multiple statements expressing full solidarity with the affected Gulf states and calling for an immediate halt to hostilities. The attacks are part of a broader military escalation between Iran and the United States, including US airstrikes on Iranian positions and a renewed naval blockade of Iranian ports. Iran has retaliated by targeting American military facilities in the Gulf region. The conflict threatens regional stability, maritime security, and energy supplies.
