The seven states call on the Security Council to issue an urgent resolution to halt Iranian aggressions.

The seven states affirmed that Iran’s aggressions on their territories, citizens, and civilian infrastructure have continued unabated since last February 28, and after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran on last June 17, these aggressions have particularly escalated against Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, targeting energy facilities, water desalination plants, ports, airports, and other civilian objects.
