In a statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry denounced the attacks "in the strongest terms," saying they constituted a "blatant violation" of the sovereignty of the three Gulf states.
The ministry said the attacks targeted several civilian facilities, including vital infrastructure, describing the escalation as a serious threat to the security and stability of the Gulf region and the wider Middle East.
Egypt reaffirmed its full solidarity with Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, stressing its support for the three "brotherly states" in confronting any threat to their security, stability and territorial integrity.
Egypt has repeatedly condemned attacks targeting Gulf countries, describing them as violations of state sovereignty and threats to regional security. Cairo has stressed that the security and stability of Gulf states are closely linked to Arab national security, while calling for restraint and a halt to escalation.
The latest escalation comes as tensions between Iran and the United States continue to intensify, with Gulf countries becoming increasingly exposed to the repercussions of the confrontation due to their strategic locations, energy infrastructure and hosting of international military facilities
