Parliament, Government to Discuss Indonesia's Stance to Iran-Israel Conflict

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Head of the Indonesian House (DPR) Foreign Affairs Commission Utut Adianto said his commission would soon schedule a meeting with Foreign Minister Sugiono. This is done to discuss Indonesia's stance on the conflict in the Middle East, especially the United States' attack on Iran.

"We will soon invite the Foreign Minister to the DPR. The Foreign Minister is a state official, if I may speak personally," said Utut at the Constitutional Court building, Central Jakarta, Monday, June 23, 2025.

In the upcoming meeting, he continued, the House is also expected to request the government to show its strategic position by not favoring any country.

Utut firmly believes, President Prabowo Subianto fully understands his role in mediating the ongoing conflicts regarding Indonesia's foreign policy direction. "The most important thing is to prioritize the non-aligned principle, the principle of national interest," said the PDIP politician.

On Sunday, June 22, 2025, Washington dropped bombs at three locations claimed to be Iran's nuclear facilities. This attack escalated the ongoing war between Israel and Iran since the U.S. is Israel's ally.

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to launch more attacks to eliminate Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity if Tehran "does not make peace" with Tel Aviv.

The conflict between Iran and Israel has been heating up since Tel Aviv launched an attack on June 13, 2025. The large-scale attack targeted Tehran, aimed at the nuclear facilities and high military command centers. Several key military figures and Iranian nuclear scientists were killed in the attack.

Iran retaliated against Israel's attack by launching ballistic missiles at Israel.
