US Airstrikes Damage Iran Nuclear Sites, Iran Condemns International Law Violations

Following US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, Iran has strongly condemned the attacks as blatant violations of international law, the UN Charter, and the Non-Proliferation Treaty, describing them as acts of unlawful military aggression and criminal collaboration with Israel. Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN and its Foreign Minister emphasized that these strikes undermine global non-proliferation efforts and threaten international peace and security, calling for an emergency UN Security Council session to hold the US accountable. Iran also reaffirmed its right to defend its sovereignty and warned of serious consequences, including missile attacks on Israel that injured civilians and damaged infrastructure. Despite the strikes, Iran's nuclear watchdog confirmed no radioactive contamination or leaks occurred at the targeted sites, criticizing the International Atomic Energy Agency for perceived bias and inaction. The US and Israel have been held responsible by Iran for violating Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity, while international voices like Australian Greens leaders have condemned the US actions as a dangerous escalation and a breach of international law, urging their government to pursue peace and de-escalation. Iran vows to continue its nuclear program and pursue legal measures against the attacks, warning the world about the grave risks posed by the US-led military aggression.
