The recent military attacks by the Israeli regime on Iran and Qatar, carried out with direct support from the United States, reflect a dangerous trend in the region. Targeting civilian infrastructure and Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, as well as attacks on Palestinian and Qatari civilians, constitute blatant violations of international law and the UN Charter. These actions not only threaten the security of the countries under attack but also send a dangerous signal to the world that aggressors can act with practical impunity.
UN Security Council Inaction and Its Consequences
Despite holding three emergency sessions, the Security Council, under U.S. pressure and support, has failed to take effective action against these aggressions. This silence has not only undermined the Council’s credibility but has also emboldened the Israeli regime to continue its crimes in the region with complete impunity. The Council’s inaction amounts to the normalization of ongoing breaches of international law and poses a direct threat to global peace and security.
Need for a Binding Resolution
Recent developments show that the Security Council can no longer remain silent. Adopting a binding resolution under Chapter VII of the UN Charter would provide the legal means to deter Israeli aggression. Such a resolution should classify the unlawful use of force and armed attacks as violations of peace and acts of military aggression, hold Israel fully accountable for the attacks on Qatar, and warn that any repetition of similar actions will trigger enforcement measures. Furthermore, the support or silence of other countries in the face of these aggressions should be considered complicity.
Practical Unity: Key to Ending the Crisis
Ending Israeli aggression requires coordinated, practical action by regional countries and the international community. Measures such as severing economic and diplomatic ties with the regime and fully supporting the right of targeted countries to legitimate self-defense are the only paths to ensuring security and deterrence. The Islamic Republic of Iran, emphasizing the urgent need for immediate and decisive action, stresses the central role of regional cooperation in countering aggression and safeguarding peace. Without practical unity, the threats posed by this regime will continue, sending a message of impunity to other potential aggressors.
