UN Security Council Condemns Iran’s Attacks on GCC States and Jordan
The UN Security Council adopted a resolution on Wednesday condemning Iran’s attacks on Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and Jordan. The resolution passed with 13 votes in favour, with Russia and China abstaining. Presented by Bahrain and co-sponsored by 135 countries, the resolution emphasised strong support for the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and political independence of the GCC states and Jordan. It strongly condemned the attacks as a breach of international law and a threat to international peace and security, also condemning attacks on civilian infrastructure that caused casualties and damage. Bahrain’s UN envoy welcomed the adoption, noting the overwhelming support reflects collective awareness of the danger posed by Iran’s unjust attacks.
