Countries criticize US and Israeli strikes on Iran

Several countries have publicly condemned recent military strikes by the United States and Israel against Iran. They argue the attacks violate international law and are happening while diplomatic talks are ongoing.

China called the strikes 'shocking' and 'unacceptable,' while also backing Iran's right to self-defense. Officials from Italy, Egypt, Turkey, and Canada also denounced the action, with Canada's Prime Minister saying the country's supportive position was taken 'with regret.'
