US airstrikes target Iranian Nuclear Sites
After US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, Tehran urged the UN and IAEA to act swiftly.
Iran condemned the strikes as “brutal US aggression” against its peaceful nuclear program.
In an official statement, the ministry said the attacks violated the UN Charter and international law, placing full responsibility on the US for the ‘extremely dangerous consequences’ of what it termed a ‘great crime’.
