The Secretariat of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) is deeply concerned about the dangerous escalation in the Middle East, mainly caused by Israel’s military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran in the early morning of 26 October 2024. The Secretariat strongly condemns the military strikes, which violate Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, representing a clear breach of the United Nations Charter as well as the principles of international law. The Israeli actions undermine path to regional peace and stability and also constitute a dangerous escalation in an already volatile region.
