Arab states erupt in condemnation

Gulf Today

June 23, 2025

Arab countries on Sunday strongly condemned the US air strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran, warning of serious repercussions and calling for a return to diplomacy.

Saudi Arabia, which resumed ties with Tehran in a Chinese-brokered detente in 2023, expressed “great concern” over the attacks.

Egypt also condemned the escalation, warning of “dangerous repercussions”, while Jordan's foreign ministry voiced “deep concern.”

Oman, which was mediating recent nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran, strongly condemned the US strikes, labelling them illegal and calling for de-escalation.

Bahrain told most of its government employees to work from home until further notice, while its foreign ministry also urged a return to talks.

The US Navy's Fifth Fleet, which covers the region, is based in Bahrain.
