The US and Israel's military aggression against Iran at the end of February 2026 has raised doubts about the credibility of the Board of Peace (BoP). DPR member TB Hasanuddin stated that the attack proves the anti-peace nature of BoP leaders, while an international relations expert views it as a test for the global peace narrative. The Indonesian government is urged to take a firm stance and leverage its BoP membership for diplomacy.
