The United States and six Arab nations—Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE—issued a joint statement condemning Iran's recent missile and drone attacks across West Asia. They described the strikes as indiscriminate, reckless, and a dangerous escalation threatening regional stability. The attacks targeted multiple countries, including Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, and were reportedly in retaliation for US-Israel strikes on Iran that resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and family. The coalition reaffirmed their right to self-defense and emphasized protecting sovereignty and civilians.
