From the mosques of Jakarta to the rice fields of Java, from the academies of Yogyakarta to the spiritual calm of Aceh, Indonesia—home to over 240 million Muslims—has risen with a clear and unified voice:

“We condemn the nuclear bombing of Iran as an act of barbarism and betrayal of humanity.”

This was the declaration from Indonesia’s People’s Consultative Assembly, echoed by scholars, clerics, students, and civil society across the archipelago.

Indonesia stands with Iran—not out of politics, but out of principle, faith, and fraternity.

1. A Shared Islamic and Diplomatic History

Iran and Indonesia have maintained warm relations through the Non-Aligned Movement, OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation), and bilateral trade and education agreements.

Indonesian students study Islamic philosophy in Qom and Iranian scholars lecture in Indonesian universities on interfaith harmony and ethics. This spiritual and intellectual bond is deep and enduring.

In times of crisis, brotherhood demands action.

2. Indonesian Ulama and Interfaith Voices Speak Out

The Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, Indonesia’s two largest Islamic organizations, have both released strong fatwas and statements:

• Condemning the nuclear strike

• Calling it “haram” under Islamic law

• Declaring solidarity with the Iranian people

Catholic bishops and Buddhist monks in Bali have joined calls for nuclear disarmament and humanitarian justice.

3. Student and Youth Movements: #IndonesiaForIran

Massive student rallies have filled the streets of Surabaya, Bandung, Jakarta, and Makassar, with slogans such as:

• “Iran Is Not Alone”

• “Nuclear Bombs Are a Crime Against the Ummah”

• “Justice Is Our Jihad”

Hashtags like #IndonesiaForIran, #PrayForTehran, and #StopNuclearTerror have trended on social media platforms throughout Southeast Asia.

4. Cultural and Artistic Resistance

Indonesian artists have created powerful protest murals, including a viral Jakarta wall featuring a mother shielding her child from a nuclear blast, titled “Not in My Name.”

Qur’anic recitations in solidarity events are accompanied by poetry and wayang puppet performances dramatizing the Iranian resistance.

Conclusion

Indonesia does not send warships or warheads—it sends wisdom, solidarity, and moral courage.

To the people of Iran, Indonesia says:

“We are your brothers and sisters in faith.
We are your allies in peace.
And we will never normalize the nuclear terror that targets our shared humanity.”
