A group of Arab and Islamic countries has issued a strong joint statement condemning Iran's recent missile and drone attacks across the region, warning that continued escalation threatens regional security, sovereignty, and stability.
The statement, issued after a consultative ministerial meeting in Riyadh, condemned Iran's deliberate attacks targeting multiple countries, including Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.
Iran has been consistently attacking US military bases, commercial and energy hubs in Gulf countries, and has choked off the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow corridor through which major oil and gas supplies pass.
The ministers called on Iran to immediately cease all hostile actions, stressing that de-escalation, respect for sovereignty, and adherence to international law are essential for restoring stability in the region.
The statement also warned against any Iranian move to disrupt international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz or threaten shipping lanes in the Bab al-Mandab, both critical chokepoints for global energy supplies.
