An urgent debate was held during the 61st session of the Human Rights Council to address the escalating military aggression launched by Iran against the Kingdom of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman.

The Coalition’s delegation strongly backed Gulf Arab representatives, condemning twenty-six days of treacherous and terrorist attacks.

According to the delegation, Iran has utilized ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles to target vital civilian infrastructure, including airports and residential areas, in a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and state sovereignty.

In a statement issued in Geneva, Mr. Faisal Folad, General Coordinator of the Coalition, emphasized that the situation transcends simple military escalation.

Reckless

He characterized Iran’s actions as systematic and reckless conduct designed to undermine the international order.

The Coalition highlighted that these attacks pose a direct threat to civilian safety through strikes on residential zones, as well as to global energy security, the world economy, and international supply chains.

The delegation noted that Iran’s strikes have not only targeted declared adversaries but also neighboring countries that have consistently advocated for restraint and diplomatic solutions.

Strikes

By labeling these actions as retaliatory strikes, Iran is attempting to justify what the Coalition describes as unjustified and irresponsible aggression.

Mr. Folad affirmed that Iran now stands in isolation from its neighbors and the international community, accusing Tehran of a desperate attempt to destabilize the region through hegemonic ambitions in defiance of the UN Charter.
