India Backs UNSC Resolution Condemning Iran's Attacks on Neighbours

The United Nations Security Council has adopted a resolution condemning Iran’s “egregious attacks” against its regional neighbours as violence continues to escalate across the Middle East. 

The 15-member council passed Resolution 2817 (2026) with 13 votes in favour and two abstentions from China and the Russia. 

The move comes as the conflict, which began on February 28, approaches its two-week mark and has spread across nearly a dozen nations.

Under the



terms of the resolution, the council condemned “in the strongest terms” Iran’s strikes against Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. 

The text specifically condemned Iranian attacks on “residential areas and civilian objects” and demanded their immediate cessation. 

The resolution also called on Tehran to halt its “threats, provocations and actions aimed at interfering with maritime trade,” along with its alleged support for proxy groups.
