The Gulf states, including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, have expressed their readiness to respond to Iran's aggressive actions. This statement was made following a joint meeting of the ministers.
In the official statement of the ministerial council, it is emphasized that in the face of unprovoked attacks from Iran, the member states of the Council are prepared to take all necessary measures to ensure their security and stability, as well as to protect their territories, citizens, and foreign nationals entitled to protection.
Earlier, the governments of the United Kingdom, Germany, and France announced their readiness to use military force if Iran does not cease its attacks on allies in the Middle East region.
On February 28, a joint operation by the United States and Israel against Iran began, to which Iran responded with strikes on Israel and on Gulf countries where American military bases are located.
