Morocco condemns the Iranian attack and expresses solidarity with Arab states
In a firm diplomatic stance, the Kingdom of Morocco expressed its strong condemnation of the blatant Iranian missile attack that targeted the sovereignty and territorial integrity of several brotherly Arab states. This position reflects the depth of the fraternal ties and shared destiny that unite Morocco with its brothers in the Arab East, specifically the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
An official statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Living Abroad on Saturday explained that Rabat is following with great concern the serious developments in the region, considering that this attack constitutes a flagrant violation of international laws and norms, and an unacceptable infringement on the national sovereignty of these countries, as well as being a direct threat and a destabilizing factor to the regional stability that is already suffering from escalating tensions.
The context of Arab solidarity and the firm Moroccan position
This Moroccan stance is not arbitrary; rather, it stems from a long-standing diplomatic doctrine of the Kingdom, which holds that the security of the Gulf states and Jordan is an integral part of Morocco's national security. Rabat has consistently affirmed, in various international and regional forums, its unwavering support for its strategic partners in the Gulf Cooperation Council and Jordan in the face of any external threats. This statement reflects a continued commitment to Arab solidarity in confronting regional interventions that seek to destabilize security and spread chaos through the use of ballistic missiles and drones.
Dimensions of the attack and its impact on regional stability
Analysts indicate that targeting the airspace and sovereignty of six Arab states simultaneously constitutes a dangerous escalation that necessitates a unified diplomatic and political response. The gravity of these attacks lies not only in their military aspect but also in their attempt to impose new power dynamics in the region at the expense of Arab sovereignty. Hence, the importance of Morocco's condemnation as a political message that the Arab world, from the Atlantic to the Gulf, stands united against any attempts to undermine the security of any member state of the Arab League.
Full support for defensive measures
The same source concluded by affirming that the Kingdom of Morocco declares its full and unwavering solidarity with its sister Arab states in all legitimate measures they take to respond to this attack. This support includes the inherent right of these states to protect their national security, maintain the peace and security of their citizens and residents, and take whatever measures they deem appropriate to deter any future aggression that threatens the region's security and its economic and human resources.
