Shafaq News- Kuwait
Kuwait held Iran fully responsible on Sunday for an attack on a power generation and water desalination plant, warning of the legal, moral, and security consequences of the strike.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry noted that the repeated deliberate targeting of critical civilian infrastructure marks a dangerous escalation and poses a serious threat to civilian safety and security. “The strike is a violation of international law, international humanitarian law, the United Nations Charter, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817.”
Kuwait reserves the full right to take all necessary measures to protect its security, territory, and vital facilities against any aggression or threat, the ministry added, citing the right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter.
