CAIRO – 21 April 2026: The Council of the League of Arab States adopted Resolution No. 9245 during an extraordinary ministerial-level meeting held via videoconference on Tuesday to discuss the repercussions of recent Iranian attacks on several Arab nations.

The Council emphasized that any attack on an Arab state is considered an attack on all member states, affirming its full solidarity with the affected countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, and Iraq.
