DPR Commission I Member Urges Government to Firmly Condemn Israel-US Actions
A member of Commission I of the People’s Consultative Assembly (DPR) Oleh Soleh has strongly condemned the attacks carried out by Israel and the United States that resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He has urged the Prabowo Subianto administration to push for sanctions against the two countries.
According to him, Indonesia’s stance in condemning Israel and the United States’ actions can be conveyed through various international forums. “I urge the government to be at the forefront in calling for sanctions against Israel and the United States,” he stated in a written statement on Tuesday, 3 March 2026.
Furthermore, he stated that the unprovoked attacks carried out by Israel and the United States have triggered chaos and escalation. The attack on Iran, he said, has damaged the spirit of world peace and undermined international commitments to peace.
“The spirit of the Board of Peace should be the foundation for creating peace, not become a justification for acts of war,” said this legislator from the National Awakening Party.
Oleh also highlighted the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the attack. According to him, the killing of the highest authority of a state constitutes a grave violation of international law and violates the principle of state sovereignty.
This member of the foreign affairs commission stated that the actions of Israel and the United States cannot be justified under any circumstances. Moreover, he said, Iran is a legitimate member of the United Nations whose rights are guaranteed by international law and conventions.
Oleh urged the United Nations to swiftly take firm action against the two countries. “The international community cannot continue to allow practices that violate international law to occur without consequences. There must be concrete and decisive action,” he said.
Tensions in the Middle East escalated after the United States and Israel launched a joint assault on Iran on Saturday, 28 February 2026. US President Donald Trump announced that the attack killed Iran’s highest leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran carried out a retaliatory strike by launching waves of missiles and drones at Israel and several military bases in the Middle East where US troops operate.
The conflict has yet to show signs of abating. According to a Daily Mail report from 2 March 2026, Donald Trump revealed the possibility that war with Iran could last for the next four weeks.
In the official statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, there was no written statement condemning the attacks carried out by Israel and the United States against Iran. The government stated that it regretted the failure of negotiations between the US and Iran, which has resulted in military escalation in the Middle East region. “Indonesia urges all parties to exercise restraint and prioritise dialogue and diplomacy,” the statement read.
Indonesia reiterated the importance of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of every nation and resolving differences through peaceful means.
The Indonesian government, in this case the President of the Republic of Indonesia, conveyed its readiness to facilitate dialogue to restore conducive security conditions and, if agreed by both parties, the Indonesian President is willing to travel to Tehran to undertake mediation.
