The government of Mauritius has issued a communiqué spelling out its position on Iran:
- There must be “an immediate ceasefire and recourse to peaceful means of resolving disputes between the States concerned.” Pro-Iran…
- “There is no visibility as to when” the Chagos deal will come into effect despite Starmer signing it in May last year.
- “Various international lawyers” say the American attack has “no legal underpinning under international law.”
Under the terms of the Chagos deal “the United Kingdom agrees to expeditiously inform Mauritius of any armed attack on a third State directly emanating from the Base on Diego Garcia.” The Mauritians will – under pressure from China and others – stir up trouble over ‘their’ territory under the terms of the deal…

Read the full communiqué below:
“The Inter-Ministerial Committee regarding the Archipelago chaired by the Prime Minister and comprising the Deputy Prime Minister, the Attorney-General and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade met this afternoon to discuss the delay in the coming into force of the Treaty signed on 22 May 2025 and the crisis in the Middle East.
The Inter-Ministerial Committee notes with concern:
(a) the opinion expressed by various international lawyers that the attacks by the United States of America and Israel against Iran and Iran’s retaliatory attacks against States not initially involved in the conflict, have no legal underpinning under international law;
(b) the controversies that have arisen from the use of various military bases in this conflict and the intensification of the conflict in the region.
Mauritius, mindful of its commitment to the international rules-based order, calls for an immediate ceasefire and recourse to peaceful means of resolving disputes between the States concerned.
The Inter-Ministerial Committee also notes with concern:
(a) that, although the Agreement concerning the Chagos Archipelago, including Diego Garcia, was signed as far back as 22 May 2025 and despite the common will of the parties to bring the Agreement into force expeditiously, it has not yet entered into force and there is no visibility as to when this would occur;
(b) the presence of unauthorised individuals on one of the islands of the Chagos Archipelago, contrary to the common intention of the parties to the Agreement concerning the Chagos Archipelago for an orderly resettlement of some of the islands of the Chagos Archipelago in due course”
