RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (NPA) — Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned what it described as the infiltration of an armed group linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) into Kuwait’s Bubiyan Island.

In a statement issued by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday, the Kingdom denounced the alleged operation, accusing the group of attempting to carry out hostile acts against Kuwait.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s strongest condemnation and denunciation of the infiltration carried out by an armed group from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the Islamic Republic of Iran into Kuwait’s Bubiyan Island, intending to carry out hostile acts against the brotherly State of Kuwait,” the statement read.

Saudi Arabia said it firmly rejects actions that violate Kuwait’s sovereignty, warning that such acts undermine regional stability and international peace efforts.

According to the statement, the Kingdom considers the alleged infiltration a clear violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.

“The Ministry stresses the Kingdom’s categorical rejection of such hostilities that violate the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait, which constitute a clear breach of international law and the Charter of the United Nations,” it stated.

Riyadh further argued that such developments threaten ongoing efforts aimed at restoring security and stability across the region.

The Saudi government also reaffirmed its solidarity with Kuwait, pledging support for all measures taken by the Kuwaiti authorities to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and national security.

“The Ministry also expresses the Kingdom’s solidarity with the brotherly State of Kuwait, its government and its people, and reaffirms its full support for all measures taken by Kuwait to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and stability of the country and its brotherly people,” the statement added.

The development comes amid heightened tensions in the Gulf region and growing concerns over regional security and military escalation involving Iran, Israel, the United States, and Gulf states.
