In a joint statement on Monday, several Gulf countries and the United States condemned the attacks by Iran on several Gulf countries and the Kurdistan Region.

The statement, which was signed by the United States, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, strongly condemned attacks on Bahrain, Iraq — including the Kurdistan Region — Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. 

“These unjustified strikes targeted sovereign territory, endangered civilian populations, and damaged civilian infrastructure,” the statement said.

“The Islamic Republic’s actions represent a dangerous escalation that violates the sovereignty of multiple states and threatens regional stability. 

The targeting of civilians and of countries not engaged in hostilities is reckless and destabilizing behavior.”

This comes amid an ongoing conflict after Israel and the United States launched a joint operation against Iran on February 28. Since the conflict began, there have been several Iranian strikes and attacks by Iraqi militia groups targeting Erbil.
