        "summary": "Deputy Chairman of DPR Commission I, Sukamta, has urged Indonesia to position itself as an 'honest broker' in mediating the escalating conflict between Iran and the United States, emphasising the country's independent and active foreign policy principles. He advocates for a multilateral approach involving the United Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation to facilitate constructive diplomacy and de-escalation. The ongoing war, which began on 28 February, has already resulted in over 1,500 deaths and disrupted global shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention.",
