Morocco reiterated its firm and unwavering support for Arab nations facing Iranian aggression during the 43rd session of the Arab Council of Interior Ministers, held by videoconference on Wednesday, April 2. Minister of Interior Abdelouafi Laftit expressed Morocco’s position before the assembled ministers and representatives of Arab organizations, calling for dialogue and diplomatic solutions to de-escalate the mounting tensions across the region.
In his address, Laftit strongly condemned Iranian attacks against Arab states, expressed Morocco’s full solidarity with the affected countries, and reaffirmed the Kingdom’s categorical rejection of any action that undermines the sovereignty or threatens the security and stability of its Arab partners. He stressed that Morocco is following the accelerating developments in the Middle East with deep concern.
Laftit also emphasized that peaceful and diplomatic channels remain the most appropriate path for resolving crises, warning that further escalation would carry severe consequences for the stability of the entire region. He called on Arab nations to strengthen their collective response through coordination rather than confrontation.
The session served as a platform for examining a range of security matters of shared concern, at a time when Arab states face intensifying challenges and heightened threats to their institutional stability. Ministers reviewed joint security frameworks and discussed mechanisms for deepening operational coordination across member states.
At the conclusion of the session, the Council adopted a series of resolutions aimed at reinforcing collective Arab security action. A joint declaration was also issued condemning Iranian attacks on Arab states as a flagrant violation of national sovereignty, international law, and the United Nations Charter, and characterized these attacks as a serious threat to international peace and security.
