Doha, Qatar: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States of America strongly condemn the indiscriminate and reckless attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran using missiles and drones against sovereign territories across the region. 

It said that these unjustified strikes in countries, including Bahrain, Iraq as well as the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, targeted sovereign territories, endangered civilians, and caused damage to civilian infrastructure.

The statement added that Iran's actions represent a dangerous escalation that violates the sovereignty of multiple states and threatens regional stability.

Targeting civilians and non-belligerent states is reckless behavior that undermines stability, it said. 

"We stand united in defense of our citizens, our sovereignty, and our territories, and we reaffirm our right to self-defense in the face of these attacks, and we underscore our commitment to regional security, and we commend the effective cooperation in the field of air and missile defense that prevented greater loss of life and destruction," the statement added in conclusion.
