Amid escalating Israel–Iran tensions, the U.S. launched airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan nuclear sites its first direct involvement alongside Israel. Iran’s foreign minister called the action “outrageous,” warning of “everlasting consequences” and declaring Iran reserves “all options” for self‑defence under international law. China condemned the strikes via state media, likening them to past strategic errors in Iraq and branding the move “a dangerous turning point”. UN Secretary‑General António Guterres expressed grave alarm, warning of “catastrophic consequences” if the conflict spirals out of control. Multiple world leaders appealed for restraint, urging diplomacy over further military escalation.
