The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Maldives has issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s recent air strikes on Iran, branding the assault as a “clear violation of sovereignty and international law.” The statement warns that the attacks threaten regional peace and intensify instability across the Middle East.
In a single, assertive narrative, the statement holds Israel fully responsible. It states that Israel’s disregard for international norms not only targets Iranian territory unjustly, but also deepens the ongoing crisis fueled by military operations in Gaza. The Maldives emphasizes that such actions risk igniting a broader regional conflict.
The call is urgent and unequivocal: the international community—from the United Nations to regional alliances—must act without delay. The Maldives demands:
- Immediate cessation of hostilities
- Firm upholding of international law and sovereign borders
- Concerted diplomatic initiatives to reverse current trends
This appeal follows President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s own intervention, voicing personal condemnation over the escalation. Through his official X (formerly Twitter) account, President Muizzu expressed solidarity with Iran’s sovereignty, denounced Israel’s aggressive tactics, and urged global leaders to step in and halt the violence.
President Muizzu’s message aligns with the government’s broader policy—from banning Israeli passport holders to organizing national campaigns supporting Palestinians. Together, these actions form a coherent foreign policy stance rooted in justice, diplomacy, and regional responsibility.
