On March 3rd, the Korean Christian Church Council (NCCK), led by General Secretary Pastor Park Seung-ryeol, issued a statement condemning the military actions of the United States and Israel against Iran. They called for an immediate cessation of military invasions, arguing that current hostilities are pushing the entire Middle East towards a crisis of all-out war. The statement pointed out a tragic incident where a primary school in Iran was bombed, resulting in casualties among children and teachers, emphasizing that such loss of civilian life cannot be justified under any security logic. The organization insisted that the cycle of bombing, retaliation, sanctions, and military pressure must come to an end.

The NCCK strongly criticized the legitimacy of using force, declaring that unilateral military action by powerful nations undermines international law and threatens collective human safety. They framed the conflict not merely as a clash between two nations but as a power struggle occurring in the context of global strategic interests. In this struggle, it is the lives of civilians that suffer first and foremost, and they affirmed that they will not accept strategies of war that jeopardize civilian lives.

Concerning military actions justified by claims of regime change or reordering of political structures, the NCCK stated that the political future of Iran belongs to its citizens. They emphasized that democracy cannot be established through foreign military intervention, and that violence does not bring justice, nor does military power guarantee peace. The Council articulated that the issue of nuclear weapons is critical for human survival and warned against treating it as a tool for maintaining power balance. Instead, they argued for global denuclearization starting from a sense of responsibility for life. They called once again for an immediate cessation of military actions and a shift towards diplomatic solutions, invoking the idea of turning swords into plowshares as a historical obligation.
