The European Union Commission (EU) has issued a strong condemnation of Iran’s recent attack on the State of Kuwait.
The Union emphasized a violation of international law while expressed its unwavering solidarity with the Kuwaiti government and its people.
This condemnation comes amidst escalating regional tensions and an ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
On May 27, 2026, Iran launched a ballistic missile towards Kuwait, which was successfully intercepted by Kuwaiti forces.
This incident, which occurred during a period of heightened hostilities, prompted immediate concern from the international community.
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) accused Iran of violating a temporary ceasefire with this missile attack according to reports.
The EU’s spokesperson highlighted that such actions pose a severe threat to regional security and stability.
The statement urged all parties to fully respect international law, including the principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter and international
humanitarian law.
Particular emphasis was placed on the full implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026), which was adopted on March 11, 2026. 
This resolution unequivocally condemned Iran’s “egregious attacks” against the Gulf states and Jordan and urged Iran to cease these attacks.
The EU reiterated its commitment to supporting efforts towards de-escalation and advocating for a sustainable solution to the ongoing war between the US, Israel, and Iran.
This broader conflict has seen various exchanges of strikes and retaliatory actions, with concerns about its impact on regional power plants and overall stability.
Kuwait has been a target of Iranian retaliatory strikes on American and Kuwaiti targets within its borders since February 28, 2026, during the 2026 Iran war. Kuwaiti air defenses have been activated multiple times to intercept missile and drone threats.
