KUALA LUMPUR, April 6 (Bernama) -- Iran’s ambassador to Malaysia has commended Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s courageous and principled stance amid ongoing United States (US) and Israeli attacks on Iran.
Valiollah Mohammadi Nasrabadi said Anwar’s leadership serves as a powerful indication of aligning with the right side of history and it will enhance Malaysia's diplomatic standing.
“History will rightly judge such wise positions, and the people of Iran will never forget the supportive stance of the Malaysian government and people,” he said in a statement on Monday.
He said the world must speak up against US and Israeli war crimes in Iran, warning that silence in the face of such actions is complicity.
“The international community must not be indifferent. Silence in the face of such actions is complicity. Targeting civilian infrastructure must be condemned without hesitation or double standards.
“If these actions are allowed to continue without scrutiny, the sovereignty of no nation -- and the security of no civilian -- will remain safe. If they can commit such crimes against one nation, they can do the same to others unless held accountable,” he said.
The ambassador also condemned US-Israel attacks on Iran’s civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas facilities, steel plants, hospitals, universities, schools, residential buildings and bridges.
He said the attacks are not acts of defence but clear violations of international law and war crimes.
He warned that repeated targeting of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant posed risks beyond Iran, stressing that any damage could have catastrophic consequences for civilians in the wider region.
Valiollah also expressed concerns over US President Donald Trump's "reckless" threats to strike Iran's power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.
He said such threats are not diplomacy but rather declarations of intent to commit further war crimes.
“When a leader speaks openly about sending a nation 'back to the stone age’, it reveals intent. It signals a willingness to inflict suffering on civilians at an unimaginable scale. These are not words to be ignored. They are warnings,” he added.
