MALAYSIA STRONGLY CONDEMNS ATTACKS AGAINST THE ISLAMIC

REPUBLIC OF IRAN AND RETALIATORY ATTACKS AGAINST SEVERAL

COUNTRIES IN WEST ASIA

Malaysia strongly condemns the attacks against Iran and the subsequent retaliatory attacks against several countries in the region namely Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar on 28 February 2026. The attacks violate the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the prohibition against the use of force under the Charter of the United Nations and international law. Such unilateral military measures risk further destabilising an already fragile region and endangering civilian lives.

At this critical juncture, all parties must exercise maximum restraint to prevent further escalation that could destabilise the region and carry wider global consequences. Malaysia reiterates that disputes must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy, in full respect of international law.

Malaysia calls on the international community, including the United Nations, to take urgent and decisive action to de-escalate the situation, and restore peace and stability in the region.
