Arab League Denounces Israeli Aggression on Iran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Foreign ministers of Arab states have strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s recent strikes on Iran, calling them a dangerous violation of international law and a provocation that threatens to ignite a wider regional war.
The Arab League, meeting in Istanbul ahead of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit, slammed the Zionist regime’s attacks launched on Iranian territory on June 13.
In a joint statement following their emergency session, the foreign ministers described the Israeli airstrikes as “a blatant violation of the sovereignty of a UN member state” and a grave threat to regional peace and stability.
The ministers called on the UN Security Council to fulfill its responsibility in deterring further escalation, warning that failure to hold Israel accountable would deepen regional instability.
They emphasized that the aggression was directly linked to the ongoing atrocities in the Gaza Strip and the regime’s illegal actions in the occupied West Bank, including settlement expansion and repeated assaults on Palestinian civilians.
The statement demanded an immediate end to Israel’s military operations and urged full, unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza, where conditions have worsened under Israeli bombardment and blockade.
It also voiced support for the revival of diplomatic negotiations over Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and rejected any attack on facilities monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The Arab ministers stressed the importance of respecting the sovereignty of all countries in the region and condemned any violation of airspace by hostile actors.
In a broader call for nuclear disarmament, the ministers urged all regional states to join the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), in an implicit criticism of the Israeli regime’s undeclared arsenal.
The session highlighted growing regional concern over Tel Aviv’s aggressive posture and the destabilizing role it continues to play across West Asia.
