Egypt condemns Iranian attacks on Kuwait

CAIRO - 1 June 2026: Egypt strongly condemned the repeated Iranian attacks targeting Kuwait on Monday, labeling them a "flagrant violation" of Kuwaiti sovereignty and a dangerous escalation threatening Gulf security.

In a Monday statement, the Foreign Ministry rejected any actions violating international law and the UN Charter.

Cairo affirmed its full solidarity with Kuwait, backing all measures taken by Kuwait to safeguard its territory, citizens, and residents.

Kuwait said earlier on Monday that its air defenses opened fire to intercept incoming drone and missile fire, understood to be from Iran.
