Somalia Condemns Iran Attacks On Gulf States, Reaffirms Support

Ministers condemned Iran's missile and drone attacks on civilian and critical infrastructure and called for respect of international law and security, citing UN Charter Article 51.

  • A consultative ministerial meeting in Riyadh on Wednesday produced a joint statement issued early Thursday addressing Iran's attacks on GCC countries, Jordan, Azerbaijan and Turkey.
  • Attacks struck oil facilities and desalination plants, targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure across GCC countries, Jordan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey, the ministers said Thursday.
  • Condemning the strikes, the Arab and Islamic foreign ministers said the aggression by Iran cannot be justified and stressed states' right to self-defense under Article of the United Nations Charter.
  • The ministers said future relations with Iran hinge on respecting sovereignty and UN Security Council Resolution 2817, including refraining from threats to navigation in the Strait of Hormuz or Bab al-Mandab.
  • On Lebanon, ministers said the country was dragged into war after the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group launched attacks against Israel following claims Israel killed Ali Khamenei, and they condemned Israel's aggression while supporting Lebanon's security and the Lebanese government's decision to limit weapons to the state.
