The government of Bangladesh has formally condemned the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, describing the targeted attack as a serious violation of international law and established global norms governing state conduct.
In an official statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday, Dhaka expressed deep shock and sorrow over the incident and conveyed condolences to the people of Iran, referring to them as a friendly and brotherly nation.
The statement emphasised that such acts of targeted assassination undermine international stability and erode the legal framework that regulates relations between sovereign states.
Bangladesh reiterated its long-standing diplomatic position that disputes between countries must be resolved through peaceful dialogue rather than military action.
The ministry underscored that respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and adherence to international legal principles are essential for maintaining global peace and security.
Officials noted that the escalation of violence in the Middle East has broader implications, particularly for countries like Bangladesh that maintain significant expatriate communities and economic ties in the region.
The government expressed concern over the potential humanitarian and security consequences of continued hostilities.
By issuing the statement, Dhaka reaffirmed its commitment to peaceful conflict resolution and multilateral diplomacy.
Authorities stressed that sustained engagement, mutual respect and compliance with international law remain the only viable pathway to resolving tensions and preventing further destabilisation in the region.
