Prabowo ready to mediate US-Iran crisis


President Prabowo Subianto is prepared to mediate between Washington and Teheran, the foreign ministry said following US strikes against Iran.

“Indonesia calls on all parties to exercise restraint and to prioritise dialogue and diplomacy,” it said in a statement on X.

“The Government of Indonesia... expresses its readiness to facilitate dialogue to restore a conducive security condition and, if agreed by both parties, the President of Indonesia is prepared to travel to Teheran to carry out mediation.”

Meanwhile, Garuda Indonesia has temporarily suspended flights to and from Doha “until further notice”, the company said in a statement, following US-Israel airstrikes and Iran’s retaliation.

“Garuda Indonesia continues to actively coordinate with aviation authorities and relevant stakeholders to monitor the evolving situation,” the company said in a statement yesterday.

The airline’s other international routes continue to operate normally. — AFP
