Indonesia's Offer to Mediate US-Iran Conflict Remains Open Amid Tensions

Indonesia's offer to mediate a potential conflict between the United States and Iran remains open, Deputy Foreign Minister Arrmanatha Nasir stated on Thursday. The proposal reflects President Prabowo Subianto's commitment to contributing to global peace efforts and reducing escalating tensions.

Nasir emphasized that any mediation would require the consent of all parties involved. He highlighted that President Prabowo is prepared to offer Indonesia's good offices to support diplomatic initiatives aimed at resolving the conflict. This stance aligns with Indonesia's long-standing foreign policy of advocating for dialogue and diplomacy.

The offer remains open, but of course it would require agreement from all sides.

The deputy foreign minister expressed concern over the recent exchange of attacks between the U.S. and Iran, noting the heightened tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. He warned that a prolonged conflict would have significant consequences for both the directly involved nations and the international community.

Indonesia has reiterated its call for a ceasefire and a return to negotiations. President Prabowo first extended his mediation offer shortly after hostilities erupted on February 28. The Foreign Ministry had stated at the time that Prabowo was willing to travel to Tehran as part of a potential initiative. The latest comments follow reports of renewed clashes between Iranian and U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, leading to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping.

It would be unwise for the Cuban government to try to procure or gain access to types of weapons that could reach this base or American territory. It would invite a confrontation that they not only do not want, but could not cope with.
