On Sunday, the Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) strongly condemned the “blatant and hostile attack” on the United Arab Emirates involving three drones, one of which targeted the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Al Dhafra region.
GCC Secretary-General Jassem Mohammed Al-Budaiwi said the attack represented a “serious escalation” and a direct threat to regional security and stability.
He warned that targeting the Barakah facility amounted to a clear violation of international laws and norms governing the protection of critical and nuclear infrastructure. He noted that such actions could have catastrophic consequences for regional and international security, as well as for civilians, the environment, and global energy supplies.
Al-Budaiwi reaffirmed the GCC’s full support for the UAE, stressing that member states stand firmly behind all measures taken by the country to safeguard its security, stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents.
