The Kuwait-based al-Ray daily published a piece on Sunday, September 6th saying following terrorist threats and conspiracies by the Iranian regime against Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, Kuwait lawmakers are now insisting on the necessity to escalate security cooperation.
Kuwait MPs said the security package signed by the Gulf Cooperation Council Foreign Ministers in 2012 has yet to be adopted by the [Kuwait] Parliament and it should be adopted by this house. Government officials are seeking the adoption of the GCC security package by the Parliament.
Kuwait MP Dr. Abdulrahman al-Jiran called for a Kuwait Parliament emergency session to adopt the GCC security package.
“Now that Iran is advancing its expansionist agenda, to confront this we need to adopt the security package. The GCC states are a united entity that cannot be divided. The rulers of Tehran are against the GCC unity and have attempted to create divides amongst them,” he said.
Abdulrahman al-Jiran added Iran has accepted and trained militants and terrorist networks to gain control over the of GCC countries, and this has threatened our security and stability. Iran only understands the language of force, he said.
