America has also jumped into the ongoing war between Israel and Iran. On Sunday, local time, the US Army carried out airstrikes on three major nuclear sites of Iran- Fordo, Natanj and Isfahan. These three sites are considered to be important components of Iran’s nuclear structure, so the attack on these seems to deteriorate further. Meanwhile, American attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites have caught the attention of global leaders. While many leaders have criticized the US and expressed concern over the situation, many are seen standing with them.
United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the US attacks on Iran. Guterres said, ‘I am very concerned with the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is already a dangerous growth in the threatened region and a direct threat to international peace and security. There is no military solution to this. The only way to move forward is diplomacy. Peace is the only hope.

The Australian government also emphasized the need for restraint by repeating concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. News agency Reuters quoted the Australian government spokesperson, saying, “We have clearly stated that Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program has been a threat to international peace and security.” We consider the statement of the US President that now is the time of peace. The security situation in the area is highly unstable. We continue to call for stress, call for dialogue and diplomacy. ‘
New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters also expressed serious concern over the Middle East Conflict. Peters said, ‘We accept developments in the last 24 hours, including President Trump’s announcement of US attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran. The military action in the Middle East is extremely worrying, and it is important to prevent it from growing further. New Zealand strongly supports efforts towards diplomacy. We urge all the parties to return to the conversation. Diplomacy will provide a more permanent solution than further military action. ‘
