GCC Ministerial Council meets in Manama amid regional tensions

The GCC Ministerial Council held its 167th meeting in Manama, Bahrain, to address the rapid escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The council convened against a backdrop of recent Iranian drone and ballistic missile attacks targeting critical infrastructure in Bahrain and Kuwait.

Gulf ministers demanded the immediate cessation of hostile acts and urged the UN Security Council to hold accountable, citing blatant violations of international law, the UN Charter, and the principles of good neighborliness.
