OIC Deeply Concerned over Targeting of Iranian Nuclear Facilities
Mohamed Mandour The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation expresses its deep concern over the recent developments with regard to targeting nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran by the United States.

The General Secretariat – recalling the statement of 13 June 2025, condemning and denouncing the violation of the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran as well as international laws and conventions – calls for de-escalation and self-restraint, and for resorting to dialogue and returning to negotiations and peaceful means. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall

Iran Considers Closure of Strait of Hormuz
Israa Farhan Iran may move to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz following preliminary approval by its parliament, though final authorization is still pending from the country's Supreme National Security Council, according to Iranian state media. The decision, if implemented, would mark a significant escalation in regional tensions, particularly after the recent US airstrike targeting Iranian nuclear facilities. While Iran's parliament has reportedly agreed in principle to the closure, official confirmation from top national security authorities has yet to be issued. State-run Press TV reported on Sunday that the move to shut the strait remains contingent upon a final green light from the Supreme National Security Council. The announcement follows rising regional instability and growing speculation about Iran's possible retaliation. Senior Iranian lawmaker and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Esmail Kowsari stated that closing the strait remains a viable option under active consideration. According to comments carried by the Young Journalists Club, he confirmed that the decision will be made if necessary, with all strategic responses still on the table. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints, through which approximately 20 percent of global oil and gas exports transit. Located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, the narrow passage is vital for the export of hydrocarbons from key producers such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, and Iran itself. Any disruption to this vital corridor would pose serious risks to international energy markets and could trigger broader geopolitical conflict. Historically, the strait has been a flashpoint during periods of tension between Iran and the United States and its allies. The renewed debate over the strait's status emerged just hours after the US carried out airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites early Sunday morning. The strikes prompted strong condemnation from Tehran and warnings of serious strategic consequences. Iran has previously threatened to block the strait in response to sanctions or military aggression, though it has never followed through on the threat. However, analysts warn that a full closure would likely provoke an immediate and far-reaching military and economic crisis in the Gulf region and beyond. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
