The European Union has "strongly" censured this Friday the attack perpetrated the previous day by Iranian forces against Kuwaiti territory, considering it an action that "violates the sovereignty" of Kuwait in accordance with International Law, and has reiterated its support and "full solidarity" with the Government and the population of the country.
"These attacks represent a serious threat to regional security and stability," states a statement collected by the European External Action Service (EEAS).
In the same statement, the Twenty-Seven call on "all parties" involved in the conflict and demand "full respect" for International Law, including the principles of the United Nations Charter and International Humanitarian Law.
In line with this message, the EEAS emphasizes the need to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817, which urged Iran to end its attacks against the Gulf States and Jordan. This resolution, the text stresses, "must be fully implemented."
"The EU will continue to support all efforts to de-escalate and will advocate for a sustainable solution in relation to the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran," concludes the message from the European diplomatic service.
Brussels' reaction comes after Kuwaiti authorities accused Iran on Thursday of having launched missiles and drones against its territory, following the claim by the Revolutionary Guard of an attack against a United States "air base" in retaliation for an American bombing in the south of the Asian country.
A few hours earlier, the General Staff of the Kuwaiti Army had reported that its anti-aircraft defense systems were "repelling missile and drone attacks," without specifying the origin of the projectiles at that time.
