Gulf countries and Jordan want the United Nations’ telecoms agency to condemn Iran’s attacks on their infrastructure, and to monitor and report on the damage, AFP reports citing a letter.
The six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, plus Jordan, have circulated a letter at the UN’s International Telecommunications Union (ITU) agency, demanding action over the impact on telecoms infrastructure.
“Since February 28, 2026, the unlawful and unprovoked attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran involving missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles have deliberately targeted civilians and civilian infrastructure in densely populated areas, including civilian information and communication technology,” says the letter, dated April 15.
It has been sent to all 48 member countries of the ITU Council, the United Arab Emirates’ mission in Geneva tells AFP.
It calls for the ITU decision-taking body to consider a draft resolution condemning “Iranian attacks against telecommunication services in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan” during its next annual session, which opens at the end of April.
