Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Condemns June 2025 Israeli and US Military Aggression on Iran
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), a 10-member alliance, has issued a strong condemnation of the June 2025 Israeli and US military aggression on Iran. The organisation, which includes China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, and Iran itself as members, expressed deep concern over the escalating Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a statement issued after a summit in Tianjin, China.
The SCO's statement clearly states that the military aggression violates UN Charter principles and international law. The organisation also strongly condemned acts causing civilian casualties and humanitarian disasters, specifically mentioning the situation in Gaza.
In the statement, the SCO called for a comprehensive, lasting ceasefire in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and unhindered humanitarian aid in Gaza. The organisation also expressed concern over the targeting of civilian nuclear infrastructure during the military aggression on Iran.
Despite the strong condemnation, the SCO's statement did not call for a comprehensive, lasting ceasefire in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or unhindered humanitarian aid in Gaza after the summit. The statement continues to express deep concern over the escalating Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but does not repeat the specific condemnation of acts causing civilian casualties and humanitarian disasters in Gaza.
The SCO's statement includes condemnation of the June 2025 Israeli and US military aggression on Iran, and the organisation strongly condemned the US and Israeli strikes on Iran during this time. The SCO states that the military aggression caused casualties, but the exact number is not specified in the statement.
The SCO's statement was issued after the organisation's 25th summit, which took place in Tianjin, China, in late August-September 2025. The membership status of Iran and Belarus was highlighted in the summit, indicating that they were members of the SCO prior to the June 2025 military aggression.
In conclusion, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation has issued a strong condemnation of the June 2025 Israeli and US military aggression on Iran, expressing deep concern over the escalating Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the resulting civilian casualties and humanitarian disasters. The organisation has called for a comprehensive, lasting ceasefire and unhindered humanitarian aid, but has not repeated these calls in the statement issued after the summit in Tianjin, China.
