GCC Demands Iran Pay Compensation for Missile, Drone Attacks on Gulf States
According to Albudaiwi, the attacks targeted airports, seaports, oil and gas facilities, power plants and residential areas across the Gulf region.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has demanded that Iran be held accountable for missile and drone attacks on Gulf countries and pay full compensation for damage caused during the conflict.
Addressing the United Nations Security Council, GCC Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi said Iran had launched thousands of missiles and drones targeting Gulf states, causing extensive damage to civilian and critical infrastructure.
According to Albudaiwi, the attacks targeted airports, seaports, oil and gas facilities, power plants and residential areas across the Gulf region.
He stressed that Gulf countries were not parties to the conflict and had actively sought to prevent further escalation through diplomatic efforts.
The GCC chief called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to hold Iran responsible for the attacks and their consequences.
He also demanded full compensation for the losses and damage suffered by Gulf countries as a result of the strikes.
Albudaiwi maintained that any future agreement with Iran must address broader regional security concerns, including Tehran’s nuclear programme, ballistic missiles, drone capabilities and support for armed groups.
The GCC secretary-general emphasised that these issues must be included in any comprehensive arrangement aimed at ensuring long-term peace and stability in the region.
Iran Rejects GCC Allegations, Accuses Gulf States of Supporting US Attacks
Meanwhile, Iran rejected the GCC’s allegations and accused Gulf countries of assisting Washington in military operations against Tehran.
Iran’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Gholam Hossein, claimed that Gulf states had supported US attacks on Iran despite presenting themselves as neutral parties.
He argued that Gulf countries should also be held accountable for providing assistance to the United States during the conflict.
The opposing statements highlight continuing tensions between Iran and Gulf countries over responsibility for the conflict and its consequences.
While the GCC is seeking compensation and international accountability for Iranian attacks, Tehran maintains that Gulf states played a role in facilitating US military operations against Iran.
