TEHRAN -- Israel’s unprovoked military aggression against Iran drew widespread condemnation across the world, with regional powers warning it risks exacerbating tensions in a region already riven by multiple conflicts.
Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud expressed the kingdom’s “strong condemnation” of what he described as “blatant Israeli aggression” in a phone call with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, the state-run Saudi Press Agency reported.  
In a separate statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry called on the United Nations Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities and take immediate steps to halt the assault, which it said “violates Iran’s sovereignty and breaches international law.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan strongly condemned Israel’s overnight attacks on Iran, calling them a “clear provocation” and a dangerous escalation in an already volatile region.
“The attacks of Israel on our neighbor Iran are a blatant provocation that flouts international norms,” Erdogan said on social media platform X, warning that such actions threaten not just the region but global stability.
Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry also issued a sharply worded condemnation, calling the Israeli airstrikes a “blatant violation of international law” and accusing Israel of pursuing a strategy of “regional destabilization.”
The ministry said the attack’s 
timing, amid negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, clearly demonstrates the Zionist regime’s “aversion to diplomacy and its willingness to jeopardize regional and global peace.” Ankara urged Israel to cease “provocative and aggressive” actions and called on the international community to act swiftly to prevent further escalation.
Egypt also strongly condemned Israel’s military strikes on Iran, calling them a blatant and highly dangerous escalation that threatens regional and international peace and security.
In a statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry described the attacks as a flagrant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter. It warned the escalation could severely jeopardize the stability and resources of the region, risking a slide into widespread chaos.
Iraq’s government denounced the airstrikes as “a serious threat to international peace and security.” Government spokesman Basim al-Awadi said the attack undermined ongoing talks between Tehran and Washington.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) warned of the “grave consequences” of continued escalation. In a statement published by the official WAM news agency, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs called for adherence to international law and respect for national sovereignty.
Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani warned that Israel’s “reckless actions” are undermining international efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East and pose a serious threat to both regional and global security.
In a post on X, the prime minister said: “While countries around the world are working tirelessly to find diplomatic solutions that restore peace to the Middle East, Israel’s reckless actions continue to destroy these chances and endanger our people, as well as global peace and security.”
He added: “The international community must act to stop these dangerous violations before it’s too late.”
Other countries including Jordan, Oman, and Lebanon also condemned the Israeli attacks.
Yemen’s Ansarullah movement described the Israeli strikes as “aggression” and accused the United States of complicity. In a statement broadcast by Al-Masirah TV, the group said the attack marked “another chapter in Western-led escalation” against Iran, and warned of broader consequences if the campaign continues.
Pakistan pledged full support for Iran at international forums and called on the Muslim world to unite against Israel amid its aggression against the Islamic Republic.
In a National Assembly session, Defense Minister Khwaja Asif said Iran and Pakistan “have centuries-old relations” and Islamabad “will stand behind Iran and will support them at every international forum to protect their interest.”
Calling for a unified Muslim response, Asif urged the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to immediately convene and formulate a joint strategy in response to Israeli aggression.
He said that the Muslim world must act now or risk facing similar attacks.
“Israel has targeted Iran, Yemen, and Palestine,” he warned. “If Muslim nations don’t unite now, each will face the same fate.”
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Friday condemned Israel’s hostile acts against Iran as a “brazen violation of Iran’s sovereignty,” expressing “solidarity with the government and the people of Iran.”
