Arab foreign ministers called for a firm and unified to ensure Iran’s compliance with international resolutions and to address the damage caused to civilians and critical infrastructure, following an extraordinary meeting chaired by Bahrain.

The virtual session, led by Bahrain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, was held under Bahrain’s presidency of the Arab League Council at the ministerial level, with participation from Arab foreign ministers and Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit.

The meeting focused on unlawful Iranian attacks against Arab countries and stressed the need for accountability and full compensation for damages in line with international law.

In his remarks, Al Zayani said the attacks—carried out using ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones over 40 days—represent a serious violation of international law and a direct threat to regional and global security.

He noted that the continued strikes come despite multiple international resolutions condemning the actions and calling for their immediate halt.

Ministers underscored the importance of taking effective measures to stop the attacks and uphold the principles of sovereignty, security, and good neighborly relations throughout the region.

Meanwhile, Bahrain strongly condemned Iran during a high-level session at UNESCO, placing regional security concerns at the center of international discussions.

Speaking at the 224th Executive Board meeting in Paris, Issa Abdulaziz Al Jassim accused Iran of carrying out attacks targeting Gulf countries and Jordan, which resulted in civilian casualties and damage to key infrastructure, including schools and universities.

The ambassador also warned that repeated Iranian attacks are putting education systems, media infrastructure, and cultural heritage at increasing risk—concerns echoed globally as conflict-related damage spreads across the region.

Bahrain outlined steps taken to maintain continuity in education despite the tensions, while reaffirming its commitment to international cooperation.
