Egypt has strongly condemned on Saturday the terrorist and sabotage plots targeting the security and stability of Gulf states, most recently the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, following the successful dismantling of Hezbollah-linked networks in both countries.
In an official statement, Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed "full solidarity" with the UAE, Kuwait and all Gulf states, affirming Cairo's support in confronting "any attempts to undermine their sovereignty, threaten their security or intimidate their citizens and residents."
The Networks Behind the Plots
The condemnation follows two major security operations in the Gulf:
In Kuwait, authorities arrested 16 individuals, 14 Kuwaiti nationals and two Lebanese citizens , accused of Hezbollah affiliation and planning attacks against "vital installations" across the country.
The group was found in possession of weapons, camera-equipped drones and Morse code communication devices, and had been coordinating with foreign entities to transmit coordinates of targeted sites.
In the UAE, authorities announced the dismantling of a terrorist network financed and operated by Hezbollah and Iran, involved in money laundering, terrorist financing and threats to national security.
Hezbollah categorically denied involvement in both case, a denial that has become as predictable as the arrests themselves.
Egypt's statement reaffirmed its "firm rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism" and its support for all security and legal measures taken by Gulf states to protect their peoples, safeguard their resources and maintain internal stability.
Cairo's intervention carries diplomatic weight, positioning Egypt firmly alongside its Gulf partners and against Iranian proxy operations at a moment when Tehran's network of cells across the region is being systematically exposed.
Saudi Arabia expects imminent coordinated attacks from Iraqi militias north of the Gulf state and from Yemen's Houthis from the south under the supervision of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a senior Saudi official said.
There is a specific brand of exhaustion that settles into the bones during a Gulf summer—a heavy, adhesive fatigue born from the endless negotiation between punishing outdoor heat and aggressively refrigerated interiors. It is an urban siege.
An Iranian parliamentary committee is reviewing a preliminary bill that would bar U.S., Israeli and other "hostile" vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported, citing a lawmaker.
