World leaders reacted with concern and alarm after Donald Trump announced that the United States had carried out airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordo, describing the operation as a “very successful attack” and calling it a historic moment while urging Iran to end the conflict.
In response, Abbas Araghchi strongly condemned the strikes, calling them “outrageous” and warning they would have lasting consequences. He said Iran “reserves all options” to respond under the right to self-defense, emphasizing that the attack violated international norms and posed a serious danger to global stability.
The developments raised immediate concerns among the international community, with fears of escalation in the region and calls for restraint, as tensions between the U.S. and Iran risk further destabilizing the situation.
