Somalia condemns Israeli strikes on Iran, calls for regional stability


Sunday October 27, 2024

Mogadishu (HOL) — The Somali government condemned Israel's overnight attacks on Iran, describing the action as a breach of sovereignty and a violation of international laws and customs.

In a statement released Saturday, Somalia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated its opposition to further escalation in the Middle East, warning that widening the conflict threatens regional security and stability.

"Somalia renews its demand to the international community and the Security Council to bear their responsibilities in halting practices that threaten the region's future," the statement read. "It also stresses the need for serious measures to secure regional stability and peace in line with international laws and treaties."

The Israeli military launched strikes on military bases in Iran, hitting about 20 sites over several hours in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran. The Iranian army confirmed four soldiers were killed after it said the attacks on Saturday targeted military bases but resulted in only "limited damage".

Iranian military officials had previously warned that any attack from Israel would provoke a "harsher response," raising concerns over further tensions in the region.
