The United Nations Security Council condemned Iran’s recent attacks on residential areas and civilian infrastructure in the Gulf and Jordan, calling for an immediate halt to such hostilities.
On Wednesday, the Council adopted Resolution 2817 with the support of 13 votes, while Russia and China abstained, with no votes against. The text asserted that the Iranian attacks constitute a severe violation of international law and pose a threat to regional and international peace and security, highlighting the human and material losses resulting from these actions.
The resolution also condemned any Iranian threat or interference targeting international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that such actions jeopardize global trade and regional stability.
Following the adoption of the resolution, Bahrain’s representative to the United Nations described the step as a clear message from the Security Council rejecting Iranian aggressions. Diplomat Jamal Al-Rawiya affirmed that the security and stability of the region are integral to global peace and that the Gulf states retain the right to defend themselves.
