TEHRAN – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has issued a robust denunciation of the recent Israeli aggression towards Iran, calling it a significant violation of the nation's sovereignty.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the OIC asserted that the hostile actions of the Israeli regime constitute a clear violation of international law and the United Nations (UN) Charter, characterizing it as "a serious infringement of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Islamic Republic of Iran." 

The statement follows Israel's act of aggression on October 26, during which the regime's warplanes exploited Iraqi airspace to launch long-range missiles at military targets in Iran’s Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces. 

Although Iran’s integrated air defense system effectively intercepted much of the attack, the assaults tragically resulted in the martyrdom of four Iranian Army servicemen and a civilian. 

The 57-member bloc also firmly denounced the infringement of Iraqi sovereignty and territorial integrity by the Israeli regime, which utilized Iraqi airspace to conduct its aggressive operations against Iran. 

Furthermore, the organization reiterated that the continuing Israeli atrocities in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in Gaza and Lebanon, along with its harmful endeavors throughout West Asia, pose significant threats to regional peace, security, and stability. 

The OIC also called for the prompt and effective intervention of the UN Security Council, the principal authority responsible for maintaining international peace and security. 

The Islamic organization emphasized that Iran and other affected nations hold the inherent right to "protect their sovereignty, territorial integrity, security, and people” in line with international law and the UN Charter. 

Numerous Iranian officials have stated in recent weeks that the nation will take action in response to the Israeli act of aggression and will steadfastly uphold its right to self-defense. 

Recently, a multitude of countries and various international organizations, including the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), have condemned the Israeli regime for its aggression against Iran, expressing profound solidarity with the Iranian nation.
