Mr. Alrowaiei
By adopting resolution 2817 (2026) today, the Security Council has affirmed a clear position rejecting attacks against our States and its commitment to the maintenance of international peace and security.
At the outset, the Kingdom of Bahrain, on behalf of the States of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC), namely the United Arab Emirates, the Sultanate of Oman, the Stat…
Mr. Bonnafont
France voted in favour of the resolution submitted by Bahrain on behalf of the States of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Jordan (resolution 2817 (2026)). We supported and co-sponsored this resolution with nearly 135 countries, in other words, an overwhelming majority of Members of our Organization. That is a powerful message to Iran.
We adopted the resolution because it contains a necessary con…
Mr. Kariuki
In adopting this resolution (resolution 2817 (2026)), the Council sends a clear message of condemnation of Iran’s reckless attacks against the Gulf States and Jordan.
It is right that the Council wholeheartedly condemns Iran’s attacks, which pose a serious threat to our partners in the Gulf and to Jordan and risk further regional and global conflagration. It is also right that the Council reiter…
Mrs. Balta
Greece voted in favour of the resolution introduced by Bahrain on behalf of the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Jordan (resolution 2817 (2026)), adding its voice of support to the countries in the Gulf that have been targeted by Iran in a unprecedented way.
Civilians have been hit. Children have been killed. Energy infrastructure has been destroyed, and critical maritime routes aff…
Mr. Ahmad
The consequences of the conflict that we are witnessing right now are clear, and everyone is impacted. This is a conflict that should never have happened. The conflict and its disastrous fallout are no longer isolated; the regional and global dimensions are obvious. When international law is violated, peace is imperilled, not advanced. We call for an immediate and complete cessation of hostilitie…
Mr. Alfaro de Alba
Despite the repeated calls of the international community to establish an immediate cessation of hostilities on the part of all stakeholders, the conflict is ongoing and dangerous. Its continuation not only exacerbates the humanitarian situation but also foments uncertainty and instability in the region and the world.
In this context, the rhetoric employed by Iran to justify actions that, under …
Mr. Fu Cong
China is deeply concerned about the rapidly escalating situation in the Gulf region, which risks pushing the entire Middle East into a dangerous abyss. The United States and Israel, without authorization from the Security Council and in the middle of negotiations between Iran and the United States, launched military strikes against Iran. This clearly violates the purposes and principles of the Ch…
Mr. Brown II
I have the honour to speak on behalf of the three African members of the Security Council (A3): the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia and my own country, Liberia.
We voted in favour of this resolution (resolution 2817 (2026)). Our decision reflects our principled commitment to diplomacy, dialogue, de-escalation and respect for international law as the only viable path to peace and stabil…
Ms. Pavļuta-Deslandes
Latvia voted in favour of, and co-sponsored, resolution 2817 (2026), submitted by Bahrain on behalf of the States of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Jordan.
We express our full solidarity with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and other affected countries that are victims of the unprovoked attacks by the Iranian regime. We appreciate the Council listen…
Mrs. Zalabata Torres
Colombia notes with deep concern the situation in the Middle East and the rising spiral of violence arising from the unilateral and unjustified attacks carried out across the region, including the most recent illegal and irresponsible attack carried out against the Islamic Republic of Iran by the United States and Israel. This is but one more stage of the genocide unleashed by the Netanyahu regim…
Ms. Lassen
Let me thank the Kingdom of Bahrain for its efforts as penholder on resolution 2817 (2026).
The large number of co-sponsors from within the Council and across the entire membership demonstrates the collective desire to end Iran’s strikes against countries in the region and bring peace to the Middle East, and it sends a powerful message.
Denmark is deeply concerned about the continued escalation…
Mr. Nebenzia
The Russian Federation abstained in the voting on the resolution submitted by Bahrain (resolution 2817 (2026)) because it is extremely unbalanced and does not serve the purpose of maintaining international peace and security.
We would like to make it clear from the outset that we do understand and regret the situation in which Middle Eastern countries find themselves today. Moreover, Russia thin…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United States of America.
As we awoke this morning, civilians, families and children were trapped, sheltering in bunkers all over the Middle East. They were wondering if the only thing they could count on today were more missiles and more drones from the Iranian regime. They could not be certain whether they would have the …
Mr. Alrowaiei
I apologize for asking for the floor again. I would like to express regret at what was contained in the statement by the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation regarding the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) countries. I would like to clarify that it was the GCC countries that undertook many mediation and diplomatic efforts. Their territories have never been th…
The President
The Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the second draft resolution before it.
I shall now give the floor to those members of the Council who wish to make statements before the voting.
Mr. Nebenzia
We have already pointed out today the non-constructive nature of the resolution that has just been adopted (resolution 2817 (2026)), which condemned Iran’s strikes targeting the territories of the countries in the region. The resolution is one-sided, and the additional explanations provided by the representative of Bahrain did not convince us otherwise.
The Russian Federation is now calling on t…
The President
I shall now put to the vote the draft resolution contained in document S/2026/159, submitted by the Russian Federation.
The President
The draft resolution received 4 votes in favour, 2 against and 9 abstentions. The draft resolution has not been adopted, having failed to obtain the required number of votes.
I shall now give the floor to those members of the Council who wish to make statements after the voting.
Mr. Kariuki
The United Kingdom’s priority is restoring regional stability in the Middle East as soon as possible and preventing this crisis from escalating further.
Iran’s ongoing reckless attacks against countries across the region threaten to expand the conflict. That is why the United Kingdom voted in favour of the resolution
submitted by Bahrain condemning Iran’s attacks against the territories of its …
Mr. Bonnafont
France did not support the draft resolution submitted by Russia on the situation in the Middle East (S/2026/159).
As I previously stated, when explaining our vote on the resolution submitted by Bahrain and adopted with an overwhelming majority (resolution 2817 (2026)), France is gravely concerned about the prolongation of the war in the Middle East. We share the view, expressed by many members o…
