After intense Israeli strikes, Iran has demanded an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council. This request comes amid relentless Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities. Israel has resumed its offensive, while Iran condemns these strikes as a “deliberate crime,” a “violation of sovereignty,” and a breach of international law. Iran’s permanent UN representative, Amir Saeed Iravani, accused Israel of carrying out “pre-planned, illegal, and irresponsible military attacks” harming Iran’s sovereignty and civilian infrastructure, posing a serious threat to international peace and security.
Arab Nations Show Solidarity with Iran
Several Arab countries have begun openly expressing solidarity with Iran. Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group whose top leadership Israel has targeted, condemned the Israeli attacks, stating Israel “knows only the language of murder, fire, and destruction” and that it has undermined all recent efforts to maintain stability and security in the region. Hezbollah accused Israel of crossing “all red lines.”
Islamic World Voices Support for Iran
Following the brutal attacks by Israel, many Islamic nations have openly supported Iran. Pakistan has condemned Israel’s actions as “illegal and provocative,” declaring full solidarity with Iran. Pakistan emphasized Iran’s right to self-defense and called on the international community to hold Israel accountable. This statement clearly positions Pakistan as a strong supporter of Iran.
Countries like Iraq and Saudi Arabia, which recently took steps to improve ties with Iran, also condemned Israel’s strikes. Iraq called it a threat to regional peace, while Saudi Arabia described the attacks as violations of Iran’s sovereignty and international law. Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry strongly denounced the Israeli strikes, emphasizing their threat to Iran’s security and regional stability.
Qatar and Turkey Warn Against Escalation
- Qatar, a key mediator in Gaza and Iran-US nuclear talks, condemned Israel’s actions, calling them a threat to peace efforts. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry stated the dangerous escalation jeopardizes the region’s security and disrupts diplomatic solutions.
- Turkey, positioning itself as a leader of the Muslim world, described Israel’s actions as “brutal and unconstitutional.” Turkish government spokesperson Ömer Çelik said the attack was an attempt to divert attention from Israeli actions in Gaza, signaling Turkey’s desire to assert itself as a regional diplomatic power.
UAE and Oman Call for Restraint
The UAE, despite its Abraham Accords ties with Israel, took a balanced stance—criticizing the Israeli attacks while urging all parties to exercise restraint. Oman, which mediates between Iran and the US on nuclear talks, warned Israel about the potentially dangerous consequences of these strikes.
A Divided West Asia and Global Implications
The Iran-Israel conflict clearly splits West Asia into two camps: one led by the US and Israel, the other by Iran and its Islamic allies. Countries like India are closely monitoring the situation, aware that the conflict could directly impact oil prices, global trade routes, and regional stability.
