Bangladesh on Sunday expressed deep concern over the recent attacks targeting the nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“Such developments risk further destabilising an already fragile regional situation and heighten the threat to international peace and security,” Spokesperson at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) Shah Asif Rahman told reporters at the ministry sharing Dhaka’s position.

Bangladesh reiterated its longstanding position in favor of peaceful resolution of conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy.

Bangladesh urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from any actions that could escalate tensions in the region.

Reading out a press release, Asif said Bangladesh calls on the United Nations and the international community to engage proactively in efforts to de-escalate the situation and promote peace and stability in the Middle East.

He said Bangladesh firmly believes that constructive engagement, mutual respect and adherence to international norms are the only sustainable path to enduring peace.
