The UN Security Council has condemned Iran’s “egregious attacks” against nearly a dozen of its regional neighbours, amid the Middle East war which is entering its two week mark.
Resolution 2817 (2026) was adopted with a vote of 13 in favour to none against, with two abstentions from China and Russia.
The Council condemned “in the strongest terms” Iran’s attacks against Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, and re-iterated its strong support for those countries’ sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence. Nearly 140 Member States co-sponsored the resolution.
It specifically condemned Iran’s attacks against residential areas and civilian objects – demanding their immediate cessation – while also demanding Tehran halt its threats, provocations, and actions aimed at interfering with maritime trade and proxy groups across the region.
