KUWAIT CITY, May 4: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kuwait on Monday strongly condemned what it described as a “heinous” Iranian drone attack targeting a UAE national tanker while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, warning that the incident poses a serious threat to maritime navigation and international waterways.
In an official statement, Kuwait reaffirmed its full support for the United Arab Emirates and backed all measures taken to safeguard its security and interests. The ministry stressed that targeting commercial vessels and endangering maritime traffic constitutes a violation of international law and UN Security Council resolutions, undermining the principle of freedom of navigation and threatening regional stability as well as global supply chains.
Kuwait called for an immediate halt to such attacks and urged all parties to ensure the safety of shipping lanes, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that maritime routes must not be used as tools of pressure or escalation.
