The Gulf Cooperation Council and Jordan issued a joint statement Thursday evening condemning Iran's ongoing attacks on their territories as "blatant acts of aggression" that violate the UN Charter, international law, and commitments under the Washington-Tehran memorandum of understanding. The statement affirmed their inherent right to individual and collective self-defense and called on the UN Security Council to adopt an urgent resolution demanding an immediate cessation of Iranian attacks, warning of further measures if attacks continue.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Jordan released a joint statement Thursday evening sharply condemning Iranian attacks on their sovereign territories. The statement describes the attacks as "blatant acts of aggression" violating the UN Charter, international law, and the terms of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran.
The joint statement follows an earlier report Thursday afternoon citing a post by security analyst Yair Goldblatt on X that previewed the condemnation and the affirmation of self-defense rights. The full statement now adds a direct demand for UN Security Council action, including an urgent resolution for an immediate halt to Iranian attacks, and warns that the countries reserve the right to take all necessary measures to protect their sovereignty, citizens, shipping, and critical infrastructure.
This marks an escalation in diplomatic pressure on Iran from its regional neighbors, who have increasingly voiced concerns over what they describe as repeated incursions and strikes. The GCC and Jordan have previously condemned Iranian actions in the Gulf region, but this joint statement represents a unified call for international intervention beyond rhetorical condemnation.
