DUBAI, July 18, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The secretary general of the Gulf 
Cooperation Council condemned recent Iranian attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait and 
Jordan on Saturday, saying strikes on civilian infrastructure amounted to 
"war crimes".

"Iran's actions constitute a highly dangerous escalation, a grave violation 
of international law and the United Nations (UN) Charter, as well as war 
crimes requiring international accountability and prosecution, given the 
deliberate targeting of infrastructure and civilian facilities," Jasem 
Mohamed Albudaiwi said, in a statement.
