Three CARICOM countries have responded to the escalation of hostilities in the Middle East after the United States and Israel launched military attacks on Iran.
That action then resulted in missile attacks by Iran directed at the territories of the United Arab Emirates and other sovereign States in the Gulf that are allied with the United States.
Antigua & Barbuda, and Guyana have both issued statements urging renewed diplomatic engagement to prevent further deterioration and to uphold the rule of law.
Trinidad & Tobago, which had earlier issued a statement urging its nationals in the Middle East to take all precautions, subsequently issued a second statement which it sought to withdraw after it was posted on the official website of the Ministry of CARICOM & Foreign Affairs.
In that statement, the Kamla Persad-Bissessar government said it "supports the actions of the United States and Israel and its allies aimed at preventing oppressive regimes from acquiring nuclear weapons capabilities that would jeopardize international peace and security.
