Foreign ministers from across the region have strongly condemned Iran’s ongoing missile and drone attacks on Gulf nations during a high-level meeting held in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking after the meeting, Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said the attacks appeared “premeditated, preplanned, and well organized,” citing their precision and coordination across multiple locations in neighboring countries.
He stressed that repeated denials from Iran have “fallen on deaf ears,” adding that any trust that previously existed has now been severely damaged.
The meeting brought together foreign ministers from several countries, including Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, and Syria.
Officials warned that continued attacks could further escalate tensions, emphasizing that restraint shown by affected countries should not be interpreted as weakness. “The patience being demonstrated is not unlimited,” Prince Faisal said, without specifying what actions might trigger a direct response.
He also highlighted that some attacks appeared to coincide with the diplomatic meeting itself, describing it as an attempt to intimidate regional leaders. “We were not intimidated,” he said, adding that such actions further undermine Iran’s credibility as a potential diplomatic partner.
The minister reiterated that Gulf countries are prioritizing the protection of civilians and infrastructure, and are using all available political, economic, and diplomatic channels to push for an immediate end to the attacks.
He added that rebuilding trust with Iran would take considerable time, even after the conflict ends, given the scale and nature of the recent escalation.
