The government has issued a statement of condemnation following the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a targeted strike that Dhaka described as violating established international legal standards.
In an official declaration released by the foreign ministry on Monday, Bangladesh expressed profound grief over the death of the Iranian leader and extended sympathies to the Iranian people, whom the statement referred to as brotherly.
The ministry's communication characterized the assassination as a serious breach of both international law and globally accepted norms governing state conduct. Dhaka emphasized that such targeted killings undermine the foundations of international order and diplomatic relations between nations.
Bangladesh reiterated its principled position that military confrontation cannot resolve disputes between countries. The foreign ministry statement stressed that meaningful dialogue, mutual respect among nations, and strict adherence to international legal frameworks represent the only sustainable path toward settling disagreements.
The condemnation reflects Bangladesh's consistent diplomatic stance favoring peaceful resolution of conflicts and respect for sovereignty. The statement comes amid heightened regional tensions in the Middle East, where Bangladesh has significant diaspora communities and economic interests.
Dhaka's response signals its concern over escalating violence in the region while positioning itself as an advocate for diplomatic solutions and adherence to international law in resolving global conflicts.
