Condemnation of Military Attack on Iran, AMPG Urges Government to Take a Firm Stance in the International Forum

Jakarta, VIVA – Said Aldi Al Idrus, the general chairman of PP AMPG, strongly condemned the joint military attack by the United States (US) and Israel that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Saturday, 28 February 2026. He explained that the attack, which killed Ali Khamenei, did not merely target the leadership of a sovereign state, but also set a dangerous and harmful precedent in international relations. ‘This attack is not merely a military operation. It is an act that wounds universal humanitarian values and threatens the foundations of world peace,’ Said Aldi said in a statement on Tuesday, 3 March 2026. He assessed that the assassination of a head of state through overt military attack could trigger a broader escalation of conflict in the Middle East and drag global powers into a cycle of open warfare. He described unilateral military action as a repudiation of the principles of international law and the United Nations Charter. ‘Whatever the justification, the use of armed force that takes lives and destroys civilian infrastructure is a setback for civilisation. The world should move toward dialogue, not military domination,’ he said. Moreover, he conveyed the stance of Golkar Party General Chairman Bahlil Lahadalia, who urged the Indonesian government to take a firm position in international forums to call for an end to the violence and to push for a ceasefire. ‘Indonesia, in accordance with the mandate of the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution, has a moral responsibility to help uphold world order based on freedom and eternal peace. We must not remain silent,’ he added. He urged that diplomatic channels be intensified, including through the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the United Nations (UN), to prevent the conflict from spreading. ‘If this conflict continues to escalate, its effects will be not only regional but global — including on economic stability, energy, and international security,’ he explained. ‘We must urge the world to return to the realisation that true strength lies not in missiles and bombs, but in the ability to build peace. If violence continues to be used as a solution, the world is moving backwards,’ he said.
