Jeddah: The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned what it described as blatant aggression by the occupation against Iran, calling it a flagrant violation of Iran's sovereignty, security, and international laws and norms. The OIC issued an official statement urging the international community and the UN Security Council to fulfill their responsibilities in the face of this attack, warning that it threatens to undermine peace, security, and stability across the entire region. The organization called for urgent and decisive international action to halt the escalation.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Iranian state television reported that the country had come under an attack by the Israeli occupation, which included strikes on the capital, Tehran, resulting in multiple casualties.
