The Republic of Uganda has defended Iran on the face of an Israeli attack, calling it unprovoked.
Speaking at the 51st Session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Istanbul, on Monday, 23rd June, 2025, Uganda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Gen. Jeje Odongo, strongly condemned the recent unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran by Israel.
He described the attack as part of a broader pattern of hostility towards the Muslim world and a violation of international law. Uganda joined other OIC member states in calling for an immediate end to such aggression and reaffirmed Iran’s right to self-defence.
Hon. Odongo also urged the international community to uphold diplomacy, dialogue, and peaceful resolution of conflicts, noting that only through unity and respect for international norms can lasting peace be achieved.
Iran has been under massive missile and drone attacks by Israel for the second week running.
