Egypt Condemns Iran's Attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain
Egypt strongly condemned Iran's attacks targeting Kuwait and Bahrain, describing them as violations of sovereignty. The statement came amid escalating regional tensions and a $24 billion asset dispute between the US and Iran.
Egypt has strongly condemned Iran's attacks targeting Kuwait and Bahrain. Cairo stated that this represents a dangerous escalation threatening the security of the Gulf and regional stability.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the attacks as a clear violation of the sovereignty of the two countries. Cairo expressed full support for Kuwait and Bahrain and backed all measures taken to protect their territories and vital facilities.
The statement emphasized that Gulf security is a fundamental pillar of Arab national security, highlighting that the incident concerns not only the two countries but also the broader regional balance.
The regional tension coincides with an ongoing deadlock between the US and Iran. US President Donald Trump said Iranian leaders have "no other options" but to reach an agreement that would end the conflict.
In an interview aired on NBC News, Trump also noted that a resolution might not come quickly. He said an agreement could take years and that Iranians would have to make difficult decisions.
Trump further argued that Iran had previously enjoyed significant freedom of action against American and international leaders. While he did not believe Iran had been "effectively neutralized," he spoke in terms of a long-term reckoning.
On the Tehran side, financial conditions were highlighted. Mohsen Rezaee, a military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, stated that the Trump administration must release $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets for an agreement to be reached.
Rezaee described this step as a trust-building test that could open a new chapter in relations between the two countries. According to CNN, Iran wants $12 billion released immediately upon signing an interim agreement, followed by the remaining $12 billion.
On the US side, concerns have been raised that releasing these funds would remove a significant pressure tool on Iran. Trump reiterated that any new agreement must be stronger than the 2015 nuclear deal and firmly opposed methods resembling bulk cash transfers.
Recent developments show that negotiations between Iran and the US are not limited to the nuclear issue alone. Frozen assets, security concerns, and regional attacks are all intertwined in the same dossier.
