OIC Condemns Israeli Strikes on Iran, Urges UN to Act

KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the Israeli military strikes on Iran, calling them a blatant violation of the country’s sovereignty and international law.

In a statement posted on its website on Friday, OIC Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha said the attacks posed a serious threat to regional peace and stability.

He urged the international community and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to act swiftly and decisively to halt the aggression.

“This attack undermines security across the region. The Security Council must assume its responsibility,” the statement said.

The Israeli strikes began early Friday and reportedly targeted military, nuclear and civilian sites in Tehran and other cities.

At least 86 people including senior military officials and civilians were killed, and 341 others injured in large-scale Israeli airstrikes in Tehran and Tabriz, according to Anadolu Ajansi.
