The Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi, has issued a sharp condemnation of Iran's continued missile and drone attacks against Arab Gulf states, attacks he says have persisted even after the ceasefire agreement reached between Washington and Tehran.
"Iran's continuation of these attacks after the agreement reflects an unacceptable hostile approach," Al Yamahi declared, calling on Tehran to fully honour the terms of the truce and respect the principles of good neighbourliness.
While welcoming the US-Iran ceasefire, the Arab Parliament's Speaker made clear that the Gulf states expect more than a bilateral arrangement concluded over their heads.
Arab states, as the parties most directly affected by the regional security situation, must be full and participating partners in any future arrangements or understandings, he stressed.
Al Yamahi also drew a firm red line on the Strait of Hormuz, describing the waterway as "a vital artery for the global economy" and warning that any threat to its security constitutes a direct threat to international stability, not merely a regional concern.
The message from the Arab Parliament was pointed: a ceasefire that Iran continues to violate, and from which Gulf states were sidelined, is not the foundation for lasting peace.
The Arab Parliament is the legislative body of the Arab League.
The United Arab Emirates has agreed to unlock billions of dollars for Iran, four sources said, in a tactical shift after weeks of Iranian attacks on the wealthy Gulf Arab state during the U.S.-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has failed to deliver on promises to secure full access for the Iranian soccer federation to attend the team's three games in the United States, Iran’s World Cup team supervisor told Reuters.
The United States and Iran on Friday appeared to have sharply different understandings of the contents of an emerging pact to end their war, though both sides signalled that an agreement was close.
