Kuwait: Kuwait on Saturday strongly condemned the targeting of an Emirati tanker while transiting the Strait of Hormuz; a "blatant" Iranian attack that constitutes a grave violation of international law, including UN Security Council Resolution 2817, and a direct threat to maritime navigation and global energy supplies.

According to Emirates News Agency, a foreign ministry statement stressed the necessity for an immediate halt to such escalatory acts, reiterating the State of Kuwait's categorical rejection of any attack jeopardizing the safety of waterways. The statement emphasized the importance of maintaining the security and stability of maritime routes essential for international trade and energy transportation.

The statement also reaffirmed Kuwait's full solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and its support for measures the UAE would take to safeguard its sovereignty, safety, and interests. The commitment reflects a broader regional concern over the safety of critical marine passages and the potential implications for global energy markets.
