JEDDAH: The Secretary-General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hissein Brahim Taha, has received a phone call from the Foreign Minister of Iran, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, and discussed the Israeli attacks on Iran.
The two officials discussed the recent Israeli attacks on Iran and their serious implications for regional stability, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Saturday.
“The secretary-general reaffirmed the OIC General Secretariat’s condemnation of the attacks and its solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” it said.
Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel early Saturday as part of “Operation True Promise 3,” in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities that resulted in the deaths of several senior Iranian generals.
The missile attack came a day after Israeli strikes killed nearly 80 people in Iran, including high-ranking military officers, and injured over 300 civilians, according to Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Saeed Iravani.
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Friday strongly condemned the Israeli attacks on Iran, denouncing them as a flagrant violation of Iran’s sovereignty and security. The OIC, in a statement, termed the Israeli attacks as a ‘blatant breach of international law and norms.’
The OIC Secretariat General emphasised that the escalation poses a serious threat to regional peace, security, and stability.
It urged the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to uphold its legal and political responsibilities by taking immediate and decisive action to end this aggression.
