Abu dhabi: Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi, Speaker of the Arab Parliament, condemned the continued blatant Iranian attacks against the Arab Gulf states using ballistic missiles and drones, despite the agreement reached on a ceasefire between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to Emirates News Agency, Al Yamahi stated that Iran's continuation of these attacks after the agreement reflects an unacceptable hostile approach toward the Arab Gulf states. He called on Iran to fully adhere to the terms of the ceasefire agreement and abide by the rules and principles of good neighborliness.
Al Yamahi also affirmed the Arab Parliament's welcome of the ceasefire agreement, expressing his hope that it will contribute to a final and lasting agreement that ensures the cessation of all forms of escalation and restores security and stability to the region. He emphasized the importance of preserving the interests of the region's peoples and safeguarding its resources.
The Speaker stressed that Arab states, particularly the Gulf states, must be a fundamental and participating party in any arrangements or understandings reached. He highlighted the need for an integrated regional security system based on respect for the sovereignty of states and non-interference in their internal affairs, as these states are the most affected by the security situation in the region.
He also emphasized the necessity of ensuring the permanent and safe freedom of international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, given its role as a vital artery for the global economy. Al Yamahi stressed that any threat to the security of this strategic passage constitutes a direct threat to international stability and global energy security, not just to the region.
