JAKARTA - Chairman of the Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Agency (BKSAP) of the House of Representatives of the PKS Faction, Dr. Syahrul Aidi Maazat, Lc, launched a harsh criticism of the massive military escalation carried out by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The coordinated attack reportedly has claimed hundreds of civilian lives, thousands of injuries, and paralyzed various vital infrastructure in Iran. BKSAP considers this action a clear violation of the United Nations Charter (UN).
Violation of International Law and the UN Charter
According to Syahrul Aidi, the military action violated international rules prohibiting the use of physical force, except for self-defense or under the official mandate of the United Nations.
"The military attack by Israel and the United States against Iran is a serious escalation that risks dragging the Middle East region into a wider open conflict. We must not allow the world to return to the logic of war that sacrifices civilians," Syahrul said in his official statement, Sunday (1/3/2026).
The member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Riau electoral district (dapil) also highlighted the domino effect of the conflict. The tension in the Middle East is feared to disrupt global stability in various crucial sectors.
"We are concerned that this escalation will have a direct impact on global stability, including energy security, international trade routes, and security in the Asian region. The world today needs stability, not confrontation," he added.
Diplomatic Urgency and the Role of Indonesian Foreign Policy
The DPR RI BKSAP unequivocally calls for an immediate cessation of all forms of hostilities. Syahrul emphasized that the path of diplomacy and peaceful dialogue must be the top priority to avoid further losses to civilians.
In line with Indonesia's principle of free and active foreign policy, BKSAP fully supports the government's steps to take a constructive role.
"The DPR RI BKSAP supports the Indonesian government's policy to seek a peaceful solution, encourages all parties to respect international law, and continue multilateral diplomatic efforts," he concluded.
He emphasized that peace is the only way to save humanity and keep global stability from destruction.
