Israel and the United States carried out airstrikes on Iran Saturday, reigniting military tensions across the Middle East. President Donald Trump committed to dismantling Tehran’s missile program and thwarting its nuclear development efforts.
International responses to these events include:
Russia’s Security Council Deputy Chairman
“Once again, the peacemaker has revealed his true face,” stated Medvedev, a former Russian president. “All negotiations with Iran are merely a façade. No one truly expected or intended to negotiate genuinely.”
He also remarked, “The real question is who has more patience — the U.S., barely 249 years old, or the Persian Empire, which dates back more than 2,500 years. Let’s see what the future holds in a century.”
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam
“I want to reaffirm that we will not accept anyone dragging Lebanon into dangerous conflicts that threaten its security and unity.”
Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide
“The operation, described by Israel as preventative, does not comply with international law, which requires an imminent threat for such preemptive strikes.”
