The Council of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization released a statement regarding the escalation of tensions in the Middle East and around the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The parliamentarians noted that these actions pose a serious threat to international peace and security. The Statement underlines the inadmissibility of using force and threats of force against sovereign states.

The CSTO PA Council called on all parties to exercise the utmost restraint and resume dialogue for the peaceful resolution of current disputes. The document expresses support for the Government and people of Iran.
