🗣Trump's arrogant claim for Iran to surrender 'completely ridiculous'

The US strikes were rather ineffectual, Tim Anderson, academic and Director of the Centre for Counter Hegemonic Studies, told Sputnik.

💬 "Trump claimed to have destroyed these nuclear sites; apparently, there's very little damage, but it's a symbolic act, and he was looking for some sort of psychological impact on the Iranians," he said.

🟠Netanyahu wants war—and Trump’s green light just handed him the keys.
🟠Iran won’t back down—expect more strikes on Israeli military & infrastructure.
🟠Israel won’t stop until it faces a real military defeat—and by then, who knows how far this will escalate?

The US and Iran were against the escalation, Anderson noted. But Netanyahu’s obsession with confrontation + Trump’s blind support = a ticking time bomb.

Here are the highlights of his statement following US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites:

🟠 The US government bears full responsibility for the serious consequences of this aggression

🟠 We call on the International Atomic Energy Agency to fulfill its legal duties in response to the dangerous attack on our peaceful nuclear facilities

🟠 The Security Council, the Secretary-General of the Organization and the IAEA must respond to the clear violation of international law by the United States

🟠 The UN Security Council should hold an emergency meeting and condemn the US action

✈️🇷🇺 Mr. Araghchi also said that he will fly to Moscow later in the day to have “serious consultations” with President Putin on Monday, June 23.
