Gulf threatened by Iran’s attacks, 7 countries including Saudi-UAE appealed to UN, demanding immediate discussion and action:

News India Live, Digital Desk: On March 19, 2026, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Jordan United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Has sent a diplomatic note to Iran demanding ‘Urgent Debate’ against Iran. These countries say Iran’s “unprovoked” attacks pose a serious threat to international peace and security.

1. Main demands of Gulf countries

The following demands have been made in the draft resolution proposed by the Gulf countries:

Stopping attacks: Iran immediately stopped attacks on civilian infrastructure (Airports, Power Plants) and commercial ships.

Strait of Hormuz: Iran’s efforts to disrupt this strategic sea route should be strongly condemned.

Compensation: ‘Reparations’ have been sought from Iran for the civilian, infrastructure and environmental damage caused by the attacks.

2. Action of UN Security Council (UNSC Resolution 2817)

Before this, 11 March 2026 The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) had passed an important resolution:

Resolution 2817: Thirteen out of 15 countries voted in favor of the resolution condemning Iran’s “horrific attacks”.

Stance of Russia and China: Both these countries abstained from voting, due to which the resolution was passed without any veto.

Iran’s response: Iran has rejected the proposal as “politically motivated” and “unfair”. He claims that he is acting only in self-defense (Article 51).

3. Impact of attacks: Hit on economy and security

Gulf countries have suffered huge losses after the direct conflict between US-Israel and Iran started on 28 February 2026:

energy crisis: The attacks on Saudi refineries and Oman’s Salalah port have led to a huge surge in the prices of crude oil and LNG.

Aviation service halted: More than 4,000 flights are being canceled daily due to the attacks at Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports.

Human loss: According to human rights organizations (HRW), many migrant workers have so far died and hundreds have been injured in these attacks.

4. Strict warning from Saudi Arabia

At an emergency meeting in Riyadh on March 19, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said that “What little trust was left in Iran has now been completely broken.” He clarified that if the attacks do not stop, the Gulf countries reserve the option of military retaliation.
