Storyline


The international community has criticized U.S. strikes on Iranian sites, saying that such actions pose threat to regional and global peace and security.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States has completed attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran, including "Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan."

Addressing the nation Saturday evening, Trump said that Iran's key nuclear facilities had been "completely and totally obliterated," and that future attacks will be "far greater and a lot easier."

Iran's Atomic Energy Organization confirmed the U.S. attacks, but said its work will not be stopped.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities were "outrageous," and that Tehran "reserves all options" to retaliate.

The U.S. strikes have aroused concerns and criticism among the international community.

Iraqi government spokesperson Bassem Al-Awadi said in a statement on Sunday that "Iraq reaffirms its principled rejection of the use of force in international relations and calls for full respect for the sovereignty of states and the protection of their vital infrastructure, particularly facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency and used for peaceful purposes."

The statement stressed that military actions cannot replace dialog and diplomatic solutions, and that the continuation of attacks risks "dangerous escalation" of the regional situation with consequences that would extend beyond borders and threaten regional and global security.

"Wars leave only destruction," the statement warned, calling for major power and international organizations to shoulder their responsibilities to "contain the situation and defuse the crisis."

The Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemns the violation of the sovereign of Iran and underscores the need to "exert all possible efforts to exercise restraint, de-escalate tensions, and avoid further escalation."

According to the report, Saudi Arabia also called on the international community to intensify its efforts under the current highly sensitive situation to reach a political solution that would bring an end to the crisis and open a new chapter for achieving security and stability in the region.

Pakistan on Sunday condemned the U.S. attacks following "the series of attacks by Israel," showing grave concerns at the possible further escalation of tensions in the region.

The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that "these attacks violate all norms of international law and that Iran has the legitimate right to defend itself under the UN Charter."

Pakistan emphasized the imperative need to respect civilian lives and properties and immediately bring the conflict to an end, the ministry said, adding that all parties must adhere to international law, particularly the international humanitarian law.

It added that recourse to dialog and diplomacy, in line with the principles and purposes of the UN Charter, remains the only viable pathway to resolve the crisis in the region.

Yemen's Houthis also issued a statement strongly condemning the U.S. attack on Iran and its nuclear facilities, describing it as a blatant aggression against a sovereign state and a serious violation of international law.

The statement said that the aggressive acts of the United States meant a serious escalation of the situation, directly threatening regional and global security.
