EGYPT PERSPECTIVE

Cairo strikes a textbook diplomatic posture: explicit condemnation, full backing of Gulf victims, categorical rejection of any escalation. Egypt's Foreign Ministry releases a two-track statement — one denouncing the Iranian strikes on Bahrain as a 'flagrant violation of sovereignty' and a 'dangerous escalation', the other condemning the attack on Kuwait airport and expressing 'full solidarity' with the Kuwaiti government. Daily News Egypt underlines that 'the security and stability of Gulf states is an integral part of Arab national security' — a diplomatic formula that anchors Egypt firmly in the Sunni Arab bloc facing Tehran. Egypt Independent runs the technical tally: 63 wounded, seven major surgeries, damage to Terminal 1, KUNA dispatch. Egyptian coverage thus combines official solidarity with factual precision. Cairo had been notably absent from rapid condemnations in earlier episodes — its public solidarity this time marks a turning point after months of caution. Daily News Egypt also notes that Manama has filed a complaint with the UN Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council about a previous Iranian attack on April 5 against the Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company. The Egyptian angle thus traces the historical thread to show this aggression is not isolated — it is cumulative. Not a word on the Iranian Patriot version, nor on the stalled negotiations.
