🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. and Israel just struck Iran. World leaders are reacting. Some allies are condemning it. EU leaders Costa and von der Leyen: "greatly concerning," urged restraint and respect for international law. France's Macron: "Outbreak of war between US, Israel, and Iran carries grave consequences. The escalation is dangerous. It must stop." Spain's Sánchez: "We reject the unilateral military action. It contributes to a more uncertain and hostile international order." Also rejected Iran's actions. Belgium: "Deeply regret diplomacy couldn't lead to a negotiated solution" but "understand the security imperatives and frustration with Iran's refusal to engage." Canada's Carney: Supports US action to prevent Iran getting nukes. "Iran is the principal source of instability and terror in the Middle East." Japan: "Closely monitoring with great concern" due to energy security implications. Russia: Called it "aggression fraught with danger of significant deterioration." Cuba: "Condemns" the strikes as violation of international law and UN Charter. The strikes happened. Iran retaliated across the Middle East.
