Sudan condemns attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, backs sovereignty measures

June 6, 2026 (KHARTOUM) – Sudan’s foreign ministry on Saturday condemned recent attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, declaring Khartoum’s support for any measures taken by the two Gulf nations to protect their sovereignty.

Kuwait’s airport was subjected to an attack, marking the second such incident in less than a week, while locations in Bahrain were also targeted. Meanwhile, Iran announced it had targeted American bases following U.S. military strikes on Iranian radar sites on Qeshm Island.

The Sudanese foreign ministry said in a statement that it “condemns and denounces in the strongest terms the attacks that targeted Kuwait and Bahrain, which represent an unacceptable violation of their sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.”

The ministry added that both Kuwait and Bahrain possess a legitimate right to take necessary measures to protect their security and territorial integrity in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter.

The attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain have raised fears of reigniting a regional conflict shortly after a brief period of calm, and are expected to increase anxieties over a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for international trade.

The Sudanese statement noted that the assaults constitute a clear breach of international law principles and represent a direct threat to the security and stability of both nations and the wider region.

The ministry further stated that these hostile actions undermine regional and international efforts to de-escalate tensions and spare the region further conflict.

Sudan affirmed its full solidarity with both countries against any threats to their security, renewing Khartoum’s rejection of all hostile acts targeting civilians, vital infrastructure, or state stability.
