Qatar Strongly Condemns Iran's Repeated Attacks on Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait
Doha | July 18, 2026
The State of Qatar condemns in the strongest terms the renewed attacks launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran against the territories of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the State of Kuwait. It considers them a flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the targeted countries, and a blatant breach of international law, the Charter of the United Nations, and the principles of good neighborliness.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that targeting electricity and water desalination plants in the State of Kuwait crosses all red lines and constitutes an egregious violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2817, which emphasizes respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of these countries and rejects targeting civilians and vital infrastructure.
The Ministry stresses that the continuation of these attacks represents a dangerous escalation that will complicate efforts to contain tensions and undermine political and diplomatic endeavors aimed at achieving security and stability in the region.
The Ministry underscores the need for an immediate and complete cessation of all military actions and attacks that threaten the security and stability of the region, the avoidance of any actions that could widen the scope of the escalation, a genuine return to dialogue and negotiations, and adherence to the understandings reached through diplomatic efforts.
