Foreign ministers from Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) nations have urged Israel to end its war with Iran.
The ministers recently made the plea without mentioning the recent US strikes on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear sites.
Bitter rivals Israel and Iran have been at loggerheads since June 13, when Israel claimed Tehran was on the verge of acquiring a nuclear bomb and launched several devastating air strikes at the country.
The air strikes killed top army commanders and scientists in Iran, and the Muslim country responded almost immediately by doing their own damage.
Reacting recently, the OIC ministers blasted Israel for its constant aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, emphasising the need to stop the attack to prevent a dangerous escalation.
“We condemn firmly the aggression of Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran, stress the urgent need to stop Israeli attacks and their great concern regarding this dangerous escalation,” a press statement read.
There was no mention of America’s bombardment of Iran’s key nuclear facilities early Sunday, after President Trump decided to aid Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear programme.
However, the OTC frowned against the “destabilization policies of Israel in the region and its recent attacks on Iran, Syria, and Lebanon, constituting flagrant (a) violation of sovereignty and security of these countries and international law.”
At the OTC meeting on Sunday morning, Iran’s top diplomat, Abbas Araghchi, declared that the United States and Israel have breached a major red line.
“Tehran would hit back at the American barrage by all means necessary,” he added.
Established in 1969, the 57-member OIC views its role as safeguarding the interests of the Muslim world while boosting Muslim solidarity.
