Arab Gulf states have warned the UN Human Rights Council that they face an existential threat from Iran following drone and missile attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure, which have caused casualties and pushed oil prices higher.
The Kuwaiti ambassador stated that this aggressive approach violates international law and sovereignty, while other Gulf countries condemned Iran for spreading terror, Reuters reports.
Iran defended the attacks, claiming that over 1,500 civilians have been killed by the US and Israel, and warned of further retaliation.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, cautioned that attacks on civilians could constitute war crimes and called for an immediate halt to the conflict.
