CAIRO, Egypt: Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Mohammed bin Ahmed Al-Yamahi, has renewed his condemnation of Iran’s continued attacks targeting several Arab countries.

In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday, Al-Yamahi said such actions violate international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter, warning that they pose a serious threat to regional and international peace and security.

He noted that attacks on residential areas, civilian facilities, and critical infrastructure — resulting in civilian casualties — represent a serious breach of international humanitarian law.

Al-Yamahi further stressed that the aggression threatens collective Arab national security, reiterating that the security of Arab states is indivisible and that any attack on one Arab country is considered an attack on the entire Arab nation.

He also urged Iran to immediately halt all hostile actions and respect the sovereignty of Arab states, as well as adhere to the principles of good neighborliness.

Al-Yamahi also praised the vigilance and efficiency of the armed forces in the Arab countries targeted by these attacks, commending their ability to confront them, protect their territories, and safeguard their capabilities.

The speaker reaffirmed the Arab Parliament’s full support for the measures taken by these countries to preserve their security and sovereignty, in accordance with their legitimate right to self-defense.

Following a joint US-Israeli strike on Iran on February 28, Tehran launched waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Gulf states, Israel, and American assets across the region, plunging the region into one of its most serious security crises in years.

Gulf airports, including major cargo hubs in Dubai and Doha, have faced repeated closures due to Iranian strikes, disrupting trade, travel, and the flow of critical medical supplies.
