Iran condemned the strikes as a violation of international law. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, writing on X (formerly Twitter), called the attacks âoutrageousâ and warned that they would have âeverlasting consequences.â He emphasized that Iran âreserves all optionsâ to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people, citing the United Nations Charterâs provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense.
Israel welcomed the U.S. action. Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, praised the strikes as a decisive step to prevent Iran from advancing its nuclear program. They framed the operation as necessary for regional and global security.
