Russia “vehemently” condemned US attacks on three Iran’s nuclear facilities. In a statement issued on Sunday, 22, Russian diplomacy called the bombing “irresponsible decision” and alleged a flagrant violation of international law.
“The irresponsible decision to make attacks with missiles and bombs in the territory of a sovereign state, regardless of the arguments presented, blatantly violates international law,” said the country’s Foreign Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In a message posted on a Telegram application channel, former President Dmitri Medvedev, a member of the Russian Security Council, mocked US President Donald Trump. “Trump, who took over as a peacemaker president, started a new US war,” Medvedev said, adding that thus the US president “won’t win the Nobel Peace.”

In the same vein, a report released in China’s state media said the United States would be “repeating the mistake made in Iraq,” referring to the American invasion in the country in 2003. “History has repeatedly demonstrated that military interventions in the Middle East often produce unintentional consequences, including prolonged conflicts and regional destabilization,” Chinese media said.
Iran’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Araqchi Abbas, called the attack “dangerous, illegal and criminal.” In the X (former Twitter), Araqchi said the United States “committed a serious violation of the UN letter and international law” by destroying “peaceful nuclear facilities.” “This morning’s events are outrageous and will have eternal consequences,” said the Iranian diplomat.
In a statement released in the X, Pope Leo XIV stated that “war does not solve problems, but amplifies them and produces deep wounds in the history of peoples.” The pontiff cried to “that diplomacy make the weapons silence” and warned of the risk of an “irreparable precipation” with the climbing of tensions. “No armed victory can compensate for mothers’ pain, fear of children or future stolen,” said the Pope.

Also in the X, the representative of the European Union, Ursula von der Leyen, said that “the negotiating table is the only place to end this crisis.”
“With tensions in the Middle East reaching a new peak, stability must be the priority. And respect for international law is fundamental,” said Der Leyen. For the EU counselor, Iran “should never acquire the bomb” and should “seek a reliable diplomatic solution.”
France Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean Noel-Barrot, said that “a lasting resolution for this issue requires a negotiated solution under the non-nuclear non-proliferation treaty.” British prime minister Keir Strmer said Iran’s nuclear program represents a serious threat to international security. Iran will never be able to develop a nuclear weapon, and the US has taken steps to mitigate this threat. ”The British Prime Minister cried to Iran” return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution. “

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that “this is a dangerous climb in a region already in danger,” as well as “a direct threat to international peace and security.” “There is a growing risk that this conflict quickly leaves control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region and the world,” said Guterres.
In X, Qatar’s diplomacy claimed to follow “with great concern” the consequences of the conflict. Japan Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba used the same term during a news conference. In addition, he stated that “it is crucial that there is a quick” demobilization of tensions.
Venezuela has “firmly and categorized” what it called “military aggression” from the United States to Iran, while Australian government spokesman appealed to “dialogue and diplomacy” but pointed out that “Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program has been a threat to international peace and security”.
