Bangladesh has strongly condemned the violation of sovereignty of several Middle Eastern countries, including Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Sunday, March 1, expressing the government’s concern following recent attacks in Iran and emphasizing the safety of Bangladeshi expatriates living in the region.

The statement warned that continued hostilities could severely endanger regional peace, stability, and the welfare of civilians. Bangladesh called on all parties involved to exercise maximum restraint, halt military actions, and return to diplomatic negotiations to resolve differences. The ministry expressed hope that peace, security, and stability would soon be restored in the region.

Although the statement listed seven countries whose sovereignty was violated, Iran was not included. The condemnation followed reports of a major military operation across Iran by Israel and the United States, which resulted in significant casualties, including senior Iranian figures.
