Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has voiced strong support for Kuwait after what the kingdom described as continued and unprovoked attacks on Kuwaiti territory by Iran. The crown prince received a phone call on Wednesday from Kuwait’s Emir, Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, during which the two leaders discussed the situation.
The crown prince expressed Saudi Arabia’s solidarity and full support for Kuwait, a sisterly state, and strongly condemned the Iranian attacks. The two leaders also reviewed ongoing efforts to enhance regional security and stability and discussed the latest regional developments.
The phone call comes amid heightened tensions in the Gulf region. Iran has not yet commented on the allegations. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have historically maintained close ties, and both nations have expressed concern over Iranian activities in the region. The call underscores the deepening cooperation between Riyadh and Kuwait City on security matters.
No further details were provided about the nature of the attacks or any casualties. The Saudi crown prince reiterated the kingdom’s commitment to standing by Kuwait in the face of threats to its sovereignty.
