The US attack on Iran is a violation of a sovereign state, and all parties should rely on diplomatic solutions and not engage in conflict because the security, political and environmental consequences would be very worrying and any further escalation would lead to devastating consequences beyond the borders of the region.

The US attacks, and before that the Zionist entity's attacks, are a blatant violation of all norms of international law, and Iran has the legitimate right to defend itself in accordance with international law, and we warn that the repercussions of the escalation represent a threat that goes beyond the borders of the region and increases the risk of a third world war.

Therefore, the international community is required to intensify efforts to find a political solution to prevent the crisis from worsening, contain the conflict, and stop the violation of the UN Charter.

The bombing of nuclear facilities threatens human life and the ecological balance and leads to unpredictable consequences for global stability and climate pollution

The United States should have continued the path of negotiations with Iran to reach a peaceful solution to the nuclear program, without abandoning the diplomatic track and slipping behind Netanyahu's plan to escalate and expand the conflict according to a plan to reshape all the countries in the region

We call on the international community to intensify efforts to restore the political and diplomatic track to resolve the crisis away from military escalation.
