Gulf Nations Warn of Iran’s Growing Danger

The United Nations Human Rights Council heard a strong warning from several Gulf countries. They say Iran’s recent attacks threaten their survival and the wider region’s peace. Kuwait’s ambassador, Naser Alhayen, called Iran’s moves “an existential threat. ” He said the strikes break international law and hurt national sovereignty. Other Gulf states joined him, accusing Iran of spreading terror through its bombings and drone raids. The attacks hit energy plants and other civilian sites, killing many people. They also push up oil prices worldwide. The UN council will vote on a resolution that condemns Iran, demands reparations, and asks the rights chief to keep an eye on the situation.

Iran argues it is retaliating for over 1, 500 civilian deaths caused by U. S. –Israeli strikes. Its UN ambassador, Ali Bahreini, warned that if the enemy is not stopped now, it will become uncontrollable later. Iran also plans a special meeting after a deadly strike on a primary school, which will happen this Friday. Volker Turk, the UN’s top human rights official, urged an end to the conflict. He called the situation “extremely dangerous and unpredictable. ” He said attacks on civilians could be war crimes if they are deliberate. The Gulf states and the UN are watching closely as tensions rise in the Middle East.
