Guyana condemns Iran’s attacks on Gulf states
…calls for de-escalation
(Kaieteur News) – The Government of Guyana has strongly condemned what it described as an unprovoked attack by Iran on several Gulf nations, warning that such actions threaten peace and stability in an already volatile Middle East.
In an official statement, Georgetown denounced Iran’s attacks on the Kingdom of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, the State of Qatar and the State of Kuwait, labeling them unjustified and in breach of international law.
“The Government of Guyana reiterates the need for the sustained pursuit of lasting peace and stability for the Middle East,” the statement read.
Guyana said the attacks on the four sovereign states constitute a violation of international norms and called on all parties to de-escalate tensions in the interest of regional and global peace.
The administration also expressed full solidarity with the governments and peoples of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait, while condemning all actions by Iran in attacking those countries.
The statement did not indicate whether Guyana would pursue any further diplomatic engagement on the matter but reaffirmed its commitment to the principles of international law and peaceful resolution of conflicts.
Meanwhile, Iran’s attacks on the Gulf States were in response to joint US-Israel bombing of Tehran.
The United States and Israel launched the most ambitious attack on Iran in decades on Saturday, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
A senior Israeli official told Reuters on Saturday that the Iranian leader’s body had been found after a strike and President Donald Trump said the U.S. worked closely with Israel to target the man who led Iran since 1989. Iranian news agencies Tasnim and Mehr, however, reported that the supreme leader was “steadfast and firm in commanding the field.”
Iran called the strikes unprovoked and illegal and responded with missiles fired at Israel and at least seven other countries, including Gulf states that host U.S. bases.
Trump, who made the biggest foreign-policy gamble of his presidency after campaigning for reelection as a “peace president,” said the strikes were aimed at ending a decades-long threat from Iran and ensuring it could not develop a nuclear weapon.
