Nabil Fahmy warns against Iranian escalation and reckless attacks targeting Arab states
Secretary-General of the League of Arab States Mr. Nabil Fahmy has warned of the grave danger posed by Iran's criminal and reckless attacks against a number of Arab states, particularly in the Gulf region, describing them as an attempt to widen the scope of the conflict and drive the region towards greater instability and insecurity.
Secretary-General of the League of Arab States Mr. Nabil Fahmy has warned of the grave danger posed by Iran's criminal and reckless attacks against a number of Arab states, particularly in the Gulf region, describing them as an attempt to widen the scope of the conflict and drive the region towards greater instability and insecurity.
The Secretary-General expressed the League's unequivocal rejection of this unjustified Iranian aggression, noting that the escalating pattern of Iran's blatant and reprehensible attacks against the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the State of Qatar and the State of Kuwait—which have targeted critical infrastructure and vital facilities—as well as its repeated attacks on the Kurdistan Region of the Republic of Iraq, reflects an aggressive course of conduct that cannot be tolerated or accepted.
He stressed that these actions demonstrate Tehran's continued reliance on policies founded on grave miscalculations and a flawed reading of regional realities, while constituting a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of Arab states, international law, and the principles of good neighbourliness.

The Secretary-General emphasised that any attack against an Arab state constitutes an attack on Arab national security and the collective interests of the Arab nation.
He urged Iran to de-escalate immediately, cease its attacks without delay, refrain from fuelling tensions, spreading instability, and threatening maritime security through its proxies in the region, and return to the path of negotiations in full compliance with its international obligations and international law.
