The Government of Maldives strongly condemns the attacks by Israel targeting energy facilities linked to the South Pars gas field in Iran, which forms part of the shared natural gas reservoir. Such attacks on energy infrastructure constitute a blatant violation of international law, risk further destabilising the region and pose threats to global energy security.
The Maldives also condemns Iran’s attacks targeting commercial and energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Kuwait. Such attacks on critical infrastructure further undermine regional security and stability, and underscore the importance of safeguarding key facilities, including oil installations, desalination plants and airports.
The Government of Maldives reiterates its call to the international community to intensify diplomatic efforts including towards securing an immediate ceasefire aimed at restoring peace, stability and security to the region.
