The Dorra Field Issue: Iran Calls for Dialogue

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has called for dialogue to resolve the issue of the Dorra (Arsh) field with Kuwait. The ministry spokesperson, Nasser Kanaani, stated that Iran believes in the possibility of reaching an agreement through cooperation and respect for common interests. Iran is ready to continue negotiations in a friendly and practical atmosphere to find a mutually agreed-upon solution.

Kanaani emphasized that presenting unilateral allegations in statements and media does not contribute to resolving the issue. A joint Kuwaiti-Bahraini statement confirmed that the entire Durra field is located in the marine areas of Kuwait, and Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have joint ownership of the natural resources in the submerged area adjacent to the divided Kuwaiti-Saudi zone.

The statement asserted that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have the sole right to exploit the natural resources in that region and rejected any claims of rights by other parties.

The Kuwaiti Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Social Affairs are leading this coordination effort, working with the Air Force to provide logistical support. This cooperation helps ensure that aid reaches those in need.

Priorities After the War in Gaza

After the war, the focus should shift to the reconstruction phase. An international conference should be organized to promote cooperation in rebuilding the Gaza Strip. The humanitarian and charitable sectors should concentrate on rebuilding destroyed infrastructure. It is also important to identify the actual needs in Gaza and send specialized teams to provide accurate reports. Strategies should be developed to ensure that aid is provided to those who need it the most.
