Arab League Condemns Iran's Attacks on Member States as Reckless and a 'Grave Strategic Mistake'

Kathmandu. The Arab League has stated that Iran's recent attacks on member nations were wrong. Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Sunday called the attacks carried out by Iran against several member states reckless and 'irresponsible'.

He urged Tehran to avoid a 'grave strategic mistake'. Addressing an emergency video conference of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo, Ahmed Aboul Gheit said, "The attacks cannot be justified under any pretext or context, and in response to peace efforts by Gulf countries, Iran has carried out 'treacherous rocket and drone attacks' on Arab League member states."

Iran also attacked physical infrastructure in various Gulf countries on Sunday. On Sunday, the fuel tank at Kuwait's international airport was attacked, while a 'desalination plant' in Bahrain was damaged.

They stated that Tehran has continued to use its missile and drone campaign against its neighbors in a similarly 'reckless' manner into its second week. Kuwait's Ministry of Interior also reported the death of two border guards while performing their national duty.

Neighboring countries are protesting Tehran's reaction following a major air campaign launched by the United States and Israel against Iran. Since the war began, 16 people have been killed in the Gulf nations, including eight civilians.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that Iran would be 'forced to respond against its neighbors' if an attack was launched using its territory.

On Saturday, President Pezeshkian apologized to neighboring countries, stating that the attack was necessary after attacks were launched from American military bases in neighboring countries. Gulf countries maintain that their territory was not used in the attack against Iran. They had repeatedly stated prior to the start of the war that they would not allow such actions.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Kuwait reported hearing a loud explosion in Dubai and Manama, Bahrain, a day earlier, and a warning of new attacks has been issued there.

The military stated that the drone attack targeted the fuel tank at Kuwait's international airport.

Kuwait's state news agency reported that the fire at the airport has been brought under control and there was no significant human casualty.

The Iranian military described the drone attack as a 'direct targeting of critical infrastructure'.

A separate statement from Iran said, "Physical damage occurred due to falling debris and wreckage from explosions in the sky during the resistance following air attacks aimed at disrupting some civilian facilities."
