In response to the alarming escalation of the situation surrounding the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Council of the Parliamentary Assembly of the CSTO issued an official statement. The document expresses serious concern about the sharp increase in tension caused by provocations from extraregional forces. The participants of the organization emphasized that military attacks on Iran and attempts to destabilize the region pose a significant threat to international peace and security.
The Council of the Assembly stressed that the use of force or threats against sovereign states is absolutely unacceptable. "We believe that the use of force is inadmissible and call for the resolution of conflicts exclusively through peaceful means, based on dialogue, mutual respect, and consideration of the interests of all parties in accordance with international law and the UN Charter," the statement reads. Parliamentarians urged all parties to exercise restraint and immediately refrain from actions that could exacerbate the situation in the region.
In this context, the efforts of the international community to localize the conflict play an important role. In its address, the CSTO PA Council called on the United Nations and the UN Security Council to take urgent measures to prevent undermining the foundations of global security. The document emphasizes the need to ensure the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Iran. Assembly members expressed full support for the government and people of the Islamic Republic during this difficult time.
In conclusion of their address, parliamentarians expressed sincere condolences to the families of those affected by the recent military actions. The authors of the statement emphasized that the resumption of constructive dialogue is the only legitimate way out of the crisis. The CSTO's position remains unchanged: stability in the Middle East can only be achieved through strict adherence to the UN Charter and respect for the national borders of sovereign states.
