On 28 March, the Gulf states issued a warning about the growing threat from Iranian-backed proxy groups. They called for international efforts to contain the escalation of violence in the region.
Warning to the Gulf States
The Gulf states have reported a sharp increase in the threat posed by Iranian proxy groups. Representatives of regional governments stressed the need to strengthen security measures.
The Gulf states are calling on the international community to pay attention to Iran's destabilising role through its support of non-governmental armed groups. They argue that such groups could use the situation to destabilise the region.
Escalation against the background of the US-Israeli war with Iran
The warnings come amid growing tensions over war between the United States, Israel and Iran. The Gulf states fear that the conflict could spill over to their territories through the actions of Iranian proxies.
According to officials, Iranian proxy groups have already stepped up their activities in several countries in the region. The authorities fear new attacks and provocations.
