OIC Demands Immediate Halt to Israeli Attacks on Iran

Foreign ministers of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have called on Israel to immediately halt its military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, as tensions between the two regional powers continue to spiral.

In a communiqué issued at the end of an emergency meeting held in Istanbul over the weekend, the ministers strongly condemned Israel’s sustained attacks on Iran, warning of the potential for a wider regional conflict.

“The ministers firmly condemn the aggression of Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran, stress the urgent need to stop Israeli attacks, and express deep concern over this dangerous escalation,” the statement read.

Hostilities between Israel and Iran erupted on June 13, after Israel launched a series of coordinated airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, claiming Tehran was close to developing a nuclear weapon. The initial strikes reportedly killed several top Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists.

Iran responded immediately with retaliatory attacks, prompting a fierce exchange of firepower that has continued for over a week, drawing global concern.

While the OIC communiqué did not directly mention Sunday’s U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure — carried out after President Donald Trump announced America’s support for Israel’s military campaign — it strongly criticized what it described as Israel’s “destabilization policies” in the Middle East.

“The Organisation denounces Israel’s recent attacks on Iran, Syria, and Lebanon, which constitute a flagrant violation of the sovereignty and security of these countries, as well as a breach of international law,” the statement added.

Speaking during the meeting, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the joint Israeli-U.S. offensive as a grave provocation.

“Both Israel and the United States have crossed a major red line,” Araghchi said, vowing that Iran would retaliate against the American strikes “by all means necessary.”

Founded in 1969, the 57-member OIC is the world’s second-largest intergovernmental body after the United Nations. It seeks to promote solidarity among Muslim nations and defend the collective interests of the Islamic world.

As the crisis deepens, global leaders and regional blocs are increasingly calling for restraint to avoid a full-scale war with devastating humanitarian consequences.
