The political and social Malaysian NGOs in a specialized meeting said that they are opposed to the US sanctions against Iran, and war-mongering moves of Washington in the region.

The influential organizations said that they launched a campaign for expressing their opposition to the provocative moves and those of some Arab states in persuading US President Donald Trump for waging another war in the region against Iran.

They emphasized that the US is repeating the scenario against Iran that it fabricated information on Iraq some 16 years ago.

The NGOs condemned Washington's deploying special forces to the Persian Gulf as a destabilizing move.

They also called on the international community to express their opposition to the hawkish policies of Washington against nations.
