The commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), Brad Cooper, has explicitly stated the participation of several Gulf Cooperation Council member states and Jordan in the "US military aggression" against Iran, Esmaeil Baqaei, Spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said in a post on X, SİA informs.
"If this American claim is merely a lie, then these states are duty-bound to officially and transparently refute it," Baqaei underlined.
"Given these facts, when Iran exercises its legitimate and rightful self-defense by striking US military bases and assets stationed on the territories of these states, questioning 'Iran's motives' amounts to nothing more than a disregard for logic and a baseless attempt at misdirection," he added.
The spokesperson also highlighted that by providing their territories as launchpads to facilitate "US aggression", these states thereby become complicit in it by virtue of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (on the definition of aggression), and this constitutes a flagrant violation of the principle of good neighborliness and Article 2 (paragraph 4) of the United Nations Charter.
"Iran's exercise of its legitimate right to self-defense is nothing but a necessary step toward restoring security and stability to the entire region," Baqaei noted.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) includes 6 countries – Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman.
