The Gulf Cooperation Council and a coalition of Arab states have issued a unified statement backing Saudi Arabia’s security response to recent attacks on oil facilities in the Eastern Province.
The declaration reaffirms full support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty and its right to defend critical energy infrastructure, marking a significant escalation in regional diplomatic alignment.
This broad endorsement comes as Gulf states deepen their military coordination against perceived Iranian threats.
Recent reporting indicates that Bahrain and Kuwait have secretly deployed fighter jets to support regional security operations, a decisive shift in posture that moves beyond verbal condemnation to active defense collaboration.
The GCC’s public backing of Saudi measures now formalizes this growing operational unity.
The attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure have heightened concerns over supply chain stability in the world’s largest oil-exporting region.
