Iran attacks on civilian targets put region on dangerous path, Arab League warns

The Arab League condemned Iran’s escalation against civilian targets and vital facilities in the Persian Gulf, warning that the attacks could push the region onto a “dangerous trajectory.”

Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said the strikes on civilian targets and critical infrastructure were a grave strategic mistake and a reckless move that threatened regional stability.

The bloc said Iranian attacks on civilian facilities and infrastructure could widen the conflict and deepen hostility across the region.

Arab League foreign ministers are due to hold an emergency meeting on Sunday to discuss the escalating tensions.
