KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 — Malaysia has strongly condemned Israel’s attack on Iran, supported by the United States, and emphasised that any act targeting civilians constitutes a clear violation of international law.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia also extends its deepest condolences to the people of Iran following the loss of senior political, military and security figures, as well as innocent civilians.
“I have contacted the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, to obtain the latest updates on the escalating conflict in West Asia,” he said.
“Malaysia condemns any act targeting civilians, as it clearly violates international law, humanitarian principles and the values of justice. I also note Iran’s readiness to negotiate, provided there is a definitive end to the war,” he added in a Facebook post today.
Anwar noted that past experience has shown ceasefires without firm guarantees risk repeating cycles of violence, as seen in Gaza and Lebanon.
He stressed that peace efforts must be grounded in justice, accountability and sustained commitment.
“Malaysia believes that lasting peace requires a comprehensive resolution to ensure the security of all parties and to restore human dignity in West Asia.
“I also appreciate President Pezeshkian’s recognition of Malaysia’s support and remain committed to strengthening this solidarity. Let us pray that the conflict in West Asia will reach a peaceful resolution soon,” he said.
