Egyptian President Sisi Condemns Iranian Strikes on Kuwait and Reaffirms Solidarity
President Abdel Fattah al‑Sisi spoke by telephone with Emir Sheikh Mishal Al‑Ahmad Al‑Jaber Al‑Sabah of Kuwait, condemning recent Iranian missile strikes against the Gulf state as a flagrant breach of international law. In the statement issued by the Egyptian presidency, Sisi characterized the attacks as a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and affirmed that Egypt’s full support for Kuwait is an integral part of its national‑security strategy. The president reiterated Egypt’s commitment to ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at de‑escalating tensions, maintaining Arab unity, and protecting the sovereignty of all Arab countries.
The call underscores Cairo’s broader foreign‑policy stance of active mediation in regional conflicts and its claim to a stabilising role in the Middle East, especially as Iran‑U.S. and Gulf rivalries intensify.
