SCO roundly condemns Israeli aggression on Iran
The statement was issued during a four-hour emergency meeting called by Iran on October 31 following the regime’s attack on Iran on October 26, IRNA reported.
The member states voiced grave concern over the escalating situation in the Middle East, which poses a significant threat to international peace, security, and stability.
They also called for the immediate implementation of effective measures to stabilize the region through political and diplomatic means in accordance with the recognized norms of international law, including those outlined in the UN Charter.
During the meeting, Iran’s permanent representative to the SCO Mohammad Rasoul Jafari addressed the root causes of the current situation in the region, attributing it to the occupation of Palestinian land and the genocide of Palestinians by the Israeli regime.
He highlighted the regime’s brutal crimes against the civilian population of Gaza over the past year, which have resulted in the deaths of more than 43,000 residents of the Gaza Strip.
Jafari called for a strong condemnation of the Israeli regime’s actions and emphasized the need to prevent the continuation of these crimes.
Since October 2023, the Israeli regime has launched a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of more than 43,000 Palestinians – mostly women and children. The regime has also expanded the war into Lebanon where more than 2,800 people have been killed in the Israeli strikes.
