Al-Budaiwi said Iran's military actions against GCC member states reflect its hostile intent toward both the Council and the wider region.

He emphasised that GCC nations have repeatedly assured Tehran, in various meetings and occasions, that they would not allow their territories or airspace to be used for any military operations against the Islamic Republic.

He noted that targeting civilian facilities constitutes a serious breach of international law, the UN Charter, and the principles of good-neighbourly relations.

The Secretary-General reaffirmed the GCC's full solidarity with Oman and its support for all measures the Sultanate takes to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and stability, reiterating the bloc's firm rejection of any aggression against its member states.
