Kuwait’s Response: Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry condemned the “repeated Iranian aggressions” as a breach of sovereignty and international law, stressing the safety of citizens and residents is a “red line.” Diplomatic Pushback: The EU condemned the attacks and plans talks with Gulf neighbors to protect navigation through Hormuz and the Red Sea; Qatar, Oman, the UAE and China all urged de-escalation and respect for the MoU.
