The United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has condemned Iran’s attacks on telecommunication infrastructure across several Middle Eastern countries. According to an AFP report, the ITU has been monitoring the impact on regional communication systems since the war between Iran, Israel, and the United States began in February. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Jordan called for ITU intervention following attacks on networks in Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan. The ITU Council’s governing body adopted a draft resolution on the issue last Friday.

An ITU spokesperson told AFP that the organization will prepare a detailed report on the causes of the disruptions and their broader effects on regional and global connectivity. During the same meeting, Iran submitted a separate proposal seeking assistance to rebuild its own telecommunication infrastructure damaged by U.S. and Israeli strikes. However, a diplomatic source said no decision was reached on Tehran’s request due to a lack of consensus among council members.
