UN Rights Council to Hold Urgent Debate on Iran's Gulf Strikes

The draft resolution condemns Iran's attacks on Gulf civilians and infrastructure, demanding reparations and an immediate halt to unprovoked strikes, the council said.

  • On Wednesday, the United Nations Human Rights Council will hold an urgent debate on Iran's strikes across the Gulf region, with the 47-member council voting on a draft resolution addressing the military aggression and its impact on civilians.
  • Bahrain requested the session on behalf of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Jordan to address Iranian attacks. Tehran branded the move 'detached from reality,' objecting to the council's consideration of the strikes.
  • The draft resolution 'condemns in the strongest terms the egregious attacks' by Iran and demands the country 'cease all unprovoked attacks' and provide reparation for damage caused by its illegal acts.
  • Bahrain's Ambassador Abdulla Abdullatif Abdulla told the council that Gulf nations 'are not party to the armed conflict,' while Iran's representative argued the littoral states 'facilitated acts that qualify as aggression' by hosting U.S. forces.
  • Council President Sidharto Reza Suryodipuro received a separate request from Iran, China, and Cuba regarding an airstrike on a school in Minab, which they termed a 'grave breach of international humanitarian law.
