In a statement issued by the League of Arab States, Aboul Gheit denounced the attacks "in the strongest terms," expressing deep concern over what he called Iran's continued aggression against Arab territories amid its confrontation with non-Arab states.
The Arab League chief said targeting Arab countries as part of broader regional tensions was "wholly unacceptable" and reflected an attempt to undermine Arab security while exerting pressure on the international community.
His remarks came as regional tensions continue to intensify following nearly 100 days of conflict and military exchanges involving Iran and its adversaries across the Middle East.
Gamal Roshdy, spokesperson for the Arab League secretary-general, said Aboul Gheit reaffirmed the organization's full solidarity with Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan in the wake of the attacks.
The Arab League also urged all parties involved to accelerate efforts toward a political agreement to end the crisis and prevent further escalation.
"The crisis has now continued for 100 days," Roshdy said, stressing the need for a negotiated settlement to restore stability and prevent the conflict from spilling further across the region.
The statement follows a series of regional and international condemnations of attacks on the three Arab states, amid growing concerns that the widening confrontation could draw additional countries into the conflict.
The Arab League statement came amid a sharp escalation in the regional confrontation involving Iran, which has increasingly spilled beyond its traditional theatres of conflict and raised concerns among Arab states about the security of Gulf and Levant countries.
Earlier on Wednesday, Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the attacks on Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, describing them as a violation of the sovereignty of the three Arab states and a threat to regional stability. Cairo reaffirmed its rejection of any actions that undermine the security of Arab countries or expand the scope of ongoing conflicts.
Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait are key regional partners of Egypt and members of broader Arab and Gulf security frameworks. Any attack on their territories is viewed by Arab governments as a direct challenge to collective regional security.
The latest developments come against the backdrop of heightened tensions between Iran and its regional adversaries, with concerns growing that the conflict could widen further and disrupt maritime security, energy supplies, and commercial routes across the Gulf and Red Sea.
In recent weeks, Egypt has intensified diplomatic efforts to contain regional escalation.
Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has held a series of consultations with counterparts from France, the European Union, Gulf states, and the United States, stressing the need for de-escalation, respect for state sovereignty, and a return to diplomatic solutions.
