Gulf Allies Rally Behind Saudi Arabia After Pipeline Attack
Gulf and Muslim organizations have condemned the drone attack on Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline, which targeted vital infrastructure and caused injuries.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Muslim World League (MWL), Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Qatar, and Bahrain issued statements condemning the attack as a 'dangerous escalation' that threatens regional security and stability.
GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi described the attack as a 'flagrant violation' of international law, adding that it was also an unacceptable threat to Saudi Arabia's security, territorial integrity, and vital installations.
The OIC strongly condemned the attack, while Qatar commended Saudi Arabia's responsible approach in supporting Iraq's efforts to prevent its territory from being used as a launchpad for attacks against neighboring countries.
