‘Startling Hypocrisy’: Malaysia PM Targets West Over Iran War Stance | APT

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has stirred global debate after praising Russia and China for their “peace stance” on the Iran conflict, while questioning the silence and response of Western nations. Speaking at the Russia-ASEAN Summit in Kazan, he said he was “extremely thankful” to President Vladimir Putin and President Xi Jinping for taking positions aimed at peace and condemning what he described as atrocities against Iran. Anwar also criticised what he called “startling hypocrisy” in Western reactions, arguing that criticism of Iran’s actions is often not matched by equal condemnation of attacks against it. He further stressed that Malaysia maintains a “centrality” approach in foreign policy rather than strict neutrality, allowing it to take positions aligned with human rights concerns while engaging with major global powers. His remarks come amid rising tensions over the Iran conflict and growing diplomatic divisions among global powers over the war’s narrative and consequences. #AnwarIbrahim #Malaysia #IranConflict #Putin #XiJinping Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @apt_news
