The Navajo Nation acknowledges the recent bombings and the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, and the United States’ involvement. During these challenging times, we pray for the safety and protection of all affected civilians and military personnel alike. 

We understand that many within our communities are feeling fearful and uncertain, and we stand with them in prayer, hope, and support.

I encourage everyone to take care of themselves and each other. We must remain respectful and compassionate, honoring the values that bind us, especially as fears and tensions rise. 

We must remember that there is still so much we do not fully understand about this complex history and situation.

Let us pray for peace—for calm in our hearts, for safety across all nations, and for wise leadership that seeks peaceful resolutions. We hold in our thoughts those who may be called into this conflict, praying for their protection and well-being.

In these difficult moments, I call upon all Navajo people to come together with kindness, patience, and respect. Together, through prayer and unity, we hope for a future where peace prevails for all peoples.

– Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren
