Saudi Arabia condemns Iranian attacks on Kuwait and Jordan, pledges full solidarity

On 30 July 2026 the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry issued a statement denouncing recent Iranian attacks that targeted the State of Kuwait and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The condemnation referenced a strike on a company’s premises in northern Kuwait that killed a worker, describing the actions as violations of international law and an affront to regional security. Saudi officials expressed full solidarity with both nations, offering condolences to the victim’s family and pledging support for any measures the two countries take in response.

In a related development, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense announced a meeting of chiefs of staff and representatives from 43 nations, together with the European Union delegation, to discuss the creation of a multinational naval defence coalition. The talks focused on safeguarding international sea lanes in the Red Sea, Bab al‑Mandeb, and the Gulf of Aden, and on countering maritime threats to commercial shipping and energy transport.

Both statements underscore heightened regional tensions and a coordinated effort to bolster collective security across land and sea domains.
