Albudaiwi details Iranian attacks, reaffirms support for Saudi Arabia
At the November 13 UN Security Council briefing, GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi said member states had faced more than 7,000 Iranian missiles and drones since February 28, 2026. The GCC Secretariat’s account lists airports, ports, energy, electricity and desalination facilities, residential areas and civilian facilities as targets, and reports casualties, injuries and serious infrastructure damage. The GCC holds Iran fully responsible for the attacks and their consequences, describes them as violations of sovereignty and international law, and calls for their immediate cessation and implementation of Resolution 2817. Separately, it condemned attacks on Saudi Arabia by the Iran-backed Houthi terrorist militia, reaffirmed full solidarity with the Kingdom and support for measures to protect its security and sovereignty, and welcomed Resolution 2837 in connection with Houthi escalation, attacks on Saudi Arabia and threats to commercial shipping.
