GCC States and Jordan Call on UN Security Council to Issue Urgent Resolution Demanding Iran Immediately Cease Its Aggressions

All the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan expressed their unified common position condemning the egregious aggression launched by Iran and its proxies against their territories, based on the successive positions adopted by the GCC Ministerial Council, the Arab League Foreign Ministers’ Council, international law, and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026). They called on the UN Security Council to issue an urgent resolution demanding that Iran immediately halt its attacks.

In a joint statement, the seven countries affirmed that Iran’s attacks on their territories, citizens, and civilian infrastructure have continued without interruption since February 28, 2026, and escalated following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the United States of America and Iran on June 17, 2026. These attacks intensified particularly against the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, targeting energy facilities, water desalination plants, ports, airports, and other civilian assets.

The seven countries stressed that these continuous attacks constitute clear acts of aggression that violate the UN Charter, international law, international humanitarian law, UN Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026), and the explicit commitments Iran made under the memorandum of understanding, posing a threat to international peace and security.

They reaffirmed their inherent right to self-defense, individually or collectively, in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, and to take all necessary legal measures to protect their sovereignty, territories, citizens, commercial vessels, and critical infrastructure against these ongoing attacks.
