The Myanmar Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) issued a statement on March 6, 2026, urging a de-escalation of the ongoing war in Iran and calling for a peaceful resolution through negotiations.

Myanmar expressed deep concern over the recent attacks currently unfolding in the Middle East region.

"Myanmar believes that constructive dialogue and diplomatic efforts, based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, are the only ways to resolve the conflict," the Ministry stated.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged the nations involved in the Middle East conflict and hostilities to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, reduce confrontations, and seek a peaceful solution through negotiation.

The war in the Middle East has been ongoing since the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran on March 1, 2026.

The strikes by the U.S. and Israel resulted in the deaths of high-ranking military officials, including Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In response, Iran has been retaliating against U.S. military bases located across the Middle East and has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, preventing oil tankers from passing through. This situation has led to a burgeoning global energy crisis.
