Iran claims that the United States continues to use the territory and airspace of Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia "to plan, prepare and carry out illegal military attacks" against the Islamic Republic.
This was stated in letters from Iran's Permanent Representative to the UN, Amir Saeed Iravani, addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council.
“Based on continuous monitoring and assessments conducted by the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, it has been determined that the aggressor, namely the United States, continues to use the territory and airspace of the Kingdom of Bahrain to plan, prepare, equip and conduct illegal military attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran“, one of the letters said. Similar accusations were made in four other letters addressed to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE.
Iran also directly accused the UAE of direct participation in the aggression. A UAE Air Force Mirage fighter jet, an Akinci drone and an F-16 fighter jet are alleged to have violated Iranian airspace, striking targets in the Strait of Hormuz and on islands including Qeshm, Abu Musa and Greater and Lesser Tunb. Iran called on all these countries to adhere to the principles of good neighborliness and prevent the further use of their territory against the Islamic Republic, holding them fully responsible for the consequences of these violations.
