Twenty-one Islamic countries have signed a statement condemning Israel’s attack on Iran. In a joint statement issued on Monday, June 16, the Foreign Ministries rejected what they described as violations of international law and Israeli actions that threaten regional security, reported the Egyptian daily Al Ahram. The statement calls for the respect of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and for the peaceful resolution of disputes. It warned that the Israel-Iran conflict risked spiralling further and called for an immediate ceasefire and return to calm. It also voiced concern over the broader regional fallout of the escalation.
The statement also called for renewed negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, describing diplomacy as the only viable path to a lasting agreement. The statement concluded that dialogue and adherence to international law—not military action—were essential to resolving the crisis.
Signatories include Egypt, Algeria, Bahrain, Brunei, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Gambia, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Mauritania, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Türkiye, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
