"The United States has just announced it bombed nuclear facilities in Iran. Attacking nuclear facilities is prohibited under international law. Chile condemns this U.S. attack.

We will defend respect for international humanitarian law in every forum. Having power does not authorize its use in violation of the rules we have established as humanity. Not even if you are the United States.

We demand and need peace."

Any retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be met with force far greater than what was witnessed tonight. Thank you! Donald J. Trump, President of the United States

China strongly condemns the U.S. attacks on Iran and bombing of nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the IAEA.

The actions of the U.S. seriously violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, and have exacerbated tensions in the Middle East.

China calls on the parties to the conflict, Israel in particular, to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible, ensure the safety of civilians, and start dialogue and negotiation.

China stands ready to work with the international community to pool efforts together and uphold justice, and work for restoring peace and stability in the Middle East.

A friend inside Iran:

“Ric, thank you for asking.

Right now in Iran, there is a full-scale security crackdown.
Armed checkpoints are everywhere. IRGC, Basij, and plainclothes forces are stopping cars, searching phones, and intimidating people.

On top of that, the regime is taking families of Iranian journalists and activists abroad hostage, threatening them to silence opposition voices.

Dozens were arrested today.
Several were executed this week under false charges of "spying for Israel", the regime uses fear and lies to justify killings.”
