Military escalation across the Middle East is intensifying as Iran and Israel exchange strikes, with tensions spilling into Gulf states and Jordan, prompting a firm political response from Egypt. Egypt’s House of Representatives and Senate said in a joint statement that Iranian attacks on Gulf states and Jordan constitute a blatant violation of sovereignty and a direct threat to regional stability, as well as a breach of international law. The statement stressed that the developments represent a dangerous escalation affecting the entire Arab security system, reaffirming Egypt’s full solidarity with Gulf countries and Jordan. In Israel, emergency services reported casualties after an Iranian missile struck near Jerusalem, causing injuries and property damage. The conflict has also impacted Gulf states, with the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait reporting interceptions of missiles and drones, alongside some infrastructure damage.
