A statement condemning Iranian interventions and supporting democracy.

More than 120 Arab figures, including current and former parliamentarians and former ministers from several Arab countries, condemned what they described as the aggressive policies of the Iranian regime, its interference in the affairs of regional states, its support for militias, and its threats to their security and stability. They emphasized that neither appeasement nor war offers a solution to the Iran crisis.
The signatories of a statement issued by figures from Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, and Yemen stated that, according to the statement, the experience of the past decades has proven that internal repression, interference in regional countries, and the pursuit of nuclear weapons are fixed pillars of the Iranian regime’s policy.
They added that missile and drone attacks, support for Tehran-aligned forces, and continued interference in Arab countries confirm, according to the statement, that the Iranian regime has sacrificed the security and stability of the region for its own survival in power.
The signatories stressed that both appeasement and war fail to provide a solution to the Iran and regional crisis, considering that the solution lies in supporting the Iranian people’s right to freedom and democracy and backing what they described as the “organized Iranian resistance,” thereby contributing to establishing peace, stability, good neighborliness, and cooperation among the peoples of the region.
The statement pointed to the escalating activities of the opposition and resistance inside Iran, despite tightened repression, arrests, and pressure on dissidents, considering that these developments reflect the broadening of popular rejection and the depth of the internal crisis facing the regime.
For its part, the Arab-Islamic Committee to Reject the Iranian Regime’s Interference in the Region said the statement gains special importance amid current developments and what it described as the growing threat of Iranian policies to regional security, coinciding with the expansion of internal anti-regime mobilization.
The committee, chaired by former Jordanian Minister of State Musa al-Ma’ani, clarified that support for the statement remains ongoing, with other Arab figures continuing to announce their affiliation with it.
