Malaysia: Malaysia has called on Israel's partners, especially those with influence and leverage, to apply maximum pressure to halt further aggression in the wake of Israeli military strikes on Iran. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, in a Facebook post today, strongly condemned the attack, including targeted strikes that have killed senior Iranian leaders, describing it as a grave and reckless act that risks further destabilising the fragile region.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the strikes took place overnight on Friday, as unconfirmed images and footage began to appear on social media showing Tehran's skyline, with plumes of smoke seen rising in several locations. The media reports indicated that the Israeli regime has carried out strikes in and near the Iranian capital, Tehran, as well as other cities in Iran.
Prime Minister Anwar highlighted the potential consequences of these actions, noting, "Its clear aim is to sabotage the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran. It also comes amid renewed scrutiny of Israel's conduct in Gaza and mounting political pressure on (Israeli Prime Minister) Benjamin Netanyahu." He further urged the international community to avoid enabling actions that could sabotage diplomacy and threaten global peace.
