Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jassim al-Budaiwi has condemned recent Iranian attacks, describing them as a serious violation of Gulf states’ sovereignty.
“The GCC reaffirms the urgent need to immediately hold these attacks, restore security, stability and calm in the region, and ensure the safety of air and maritime navigation, the safety of international supply chains, and protect global energy markets,” al-Budaiwi has told the UN Security Council.
“GCC states reaffirm their inherent right to self-defence in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, and will take all necessary measures to protect their sovereignty.”
