Jordan on Thursday condemned what it described as a "heinous Iranian attack" targeting a building belonging to a company in Kuwait, calling it a blatant violation of Kuwait's sovereignty and a breach of international law.
In a statement, Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said the attack threatened Kuwait's security, stability and territorial integrity, while reaffirming Jordan's "absolute solidarity" with the Gulf state.
The ministry stressed that Jordan stands alongside Kuwait in all measures it takes to safeguard its sovereignty, security, stability and the safety of its citizens and residents.
Jordan's statement came after Kuwait's Ministry of Defense announced that one worker was killed and a Chinese company building in the country's north sustained extensive damage in an Iranian attack.
The condemnation comes amid escalating regional tensions between the United States and Iran. Earlier Thursday, the Jordanian Armed Forces said they had detected and intercepted five Iranian missiles launched toward the Kingdom, underscoring growing concerns that the widening confrontation could threaten the security and sovereignty of countries across the region.
