Iran is no push over. They are highly educated people with advanced degrees.

They used old missiles to wear out Israel's iron dome. Then sent the bigger boys missile including the hypersonic ones after the Iron dome gave up.

USA quickly came to tbe help of Israel as a show of force, but it was an absolute wrong move.

A roundup of reactions as US joins Israel’s war and attacks three Iranian nuclear sites after days of speculation over US involvement in the conflict.

ICAN
The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons says the US military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities were “senseless and reckless”.

“By joining Israel’s attack on Iran, the US is also breaking international law. Military action against Iran is not the way to resolve concerns over Tehran’s nuclear programme,” ICAN’s executive director Melissa Parke said in a statement.

“Given that US intelligence agencies assess Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, this is a senseless and reckless act that could undermine international efforts to prevent the further proliferation of nuclear weapons.”

Geneva-based ICAN won the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize for its key role in drafting the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which took effect in 2021. Some 69 countries have ratified it to date, four more have directly acceded to the treaty, and another 25 have signed it, although none of the nuclear weapons states have come on board.

Australia
“We have been clear that Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program has been a threat to international peace and security,” the Australian government spokesperson said.

“We note the US President’s statement that now is the time for peace,” he said, adding that the security situation in the region is “highly volatile”.

“We continue to call for de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy,” the spokesperson said.

New Zealand
“We acknowledge developments in the last 24 hours, including President Trump’s announcement of US strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran,” Foreign Minister Winston Peters said.

“Ongoing military action in the Middle East is extremely worrying, and it is critical further escalation is avoided,” he said, adding that New Zealand “strongly supports efforts towards diplomacy”.

“We urge all parties to return to talks. Diplomacy will deliver a more enduring resolution than further military action.”

Mexico
“The ministry urgently calls for diplomatic dialogue for peace between the parties involved in the Middle East conflict, Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on their X account.

“In keeping with our constitutional principles of foreign policy and our country’s pacifist conviction, we reiterate our call to de-escalate tensions in the region,” the ministry said.

“The restoration of peaceful coexistence among the states of the region is the highest priority.”

Venezuela
“Venezuela Condemns US Military Aggression Against Iran and Demands an Immediate Cessation of Hostilities,” Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said in a Telegram post.

“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela firmly and categorically condemns the bombing carried out by the United States military, at the request of the State of Israel, against nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan complexes,” he said.

Cuba
[quote]Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel strongly condemned the US bombing, saying it constituted a “dangerous escalation” and a serious violation of the UN Charter.

He added that it “plunges humanity into a crisis with irreversible consequences”.

Chile
Chilean President Gabriel Boric also called the US action illegal.

“Chile condemns this US attack,” he wrote on X. “Having power does not authorise you to use it in violation of the rules that we as humanity have given ourselves. Even if you are the United States.”
Foreign Affairs › World Reacts To US Attacks On Iran by Slytiger(op): 6:55pm On Jun 22, 2025
A roundup of reactions as US joins Israel’s war and attacks three Iranian nuclear sites after days of speculation over US involvement in the conflict.

The United States has bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, further escalating the war between Israel and Iran.

President Donald Trump late on Saturday said the US attacks “obliterated” the Iranian facilities in Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz as he threatened more strikes to eliminate the country’s nuclear enrichment capacity if Tehran “does not make peace”.

Iran acknowledged the attacks, saying its personnel working at the nuclear sites were evacuated before the attacks.

The US strikes came more than a week after Israel launched a military campaign against Iran, which retaliated with missile attacks, resulting in hundreds of casualties on both sides.

Here are some key reactions from around the world following the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites:

Iran
In his first public remarks after the strikes, Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi accused the US of breaching international law.

"The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT [Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty] by attacking Iran’s peaceful nuclear installations,” Araghchi said in a social media post.

“The events this morning [Sunday] are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior.”

He added that Iran “reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people”.

Israel
“Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran’s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised statement.

“History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world’s most dangerous regime the world’s most dangerous weapons.”

United Nations
“I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today,” Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.

“This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security”, he said, adding that there is a “growing risk” that this conflict could “rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world”.

Guterres called on member states to “de-escalate” and “uphold their obligations under the UN Charter and other rules of international law”.

“At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.”

Hamas
In a statement, the Palestinian armed group said it condemned “in the strongest terms the brazen aggression of the United States against the territory and sovereignty of Iran”.

“The US aggression against Iran is a dangerous escalation, blind obedience to the occupiers’ agenda, and a clear violation of international law,” Hamas said.

“We declare our solidarity with Iran, its leadership, and its people, and we have full confidence in Iran’s ability to defend its sovereignty.”

Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia expressed its “great concern” following the US attacks, according to a statement by the foreign ministry on X.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is following with great concern the developments in the sisterly Islamic Republic of Iran, represented by the targeting of Iranian nuclear facilities by the United States of America,” the Saudi foreign ministry posted on X.

The kingdom “expresses the need to exert all efforts to exercise restraint, de-escalate, and avoid escalation”, calling on the international community to boost efforts in such “highly sensitive circumstances” to reach a political solution to end the crisis.

Qatar
Qatar says it fears serious repercussions after the US air strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran.

The foreign ministry “warns that the current dangerous escalation in the region may lead to catastrophic consequences at both the regional and international levels,” a statement said.

"It calls on all parties to exercise wisdom, restraint, and to avoid further escalation.”

Oman
Oman, which was mediating nuclear talks between the US and Iran, has strongly condemned the US strikes.

The Gulf state “expresses deep concern, denunciation and condemnation of the escalation resulting from the direct air strikes launched by the United States on sites in the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the official Oman News Agency said.

Iraq
Iraq has warned the US attacks on its neighbour Iran’s nuclear facilities threaten peace and stability in the Middle East.

“This military escalation constitutes a grave threat to peace and security in the Middle East and poses serious risks to regional stability,” government spokesperson Basim Alawadi said.

Russia
The deputy head of President Vladimir Putin’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said several nations would be ready to provide Iran with nuclear weapons. He did not say which countries, but added the US attack caused minimal damage and would not stop Tehran from pursuing nuclear weapons.

Russia’s foreign ministry said it strongly condemns the US attacks on Iran.

“The irresponsible decision to subject the territory of a sovereign state to missile and bomb attacks, whatever the arguments it may be presented with, flagrantly violates international law, the Charter of the United Nations and the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council,” the ministry said in its statement.

China
The foreign ministry said it “strongly condemns” US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, that “seriously violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, and have exacerbated tensions in the Middle East”.

“China calls on the parties to the conflict, Israel in particular, to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible, ensure the safety of civilians, and start dialogue and negotiation,” the ministry said on X.

“China stands ready to work with the international community to pool efforts together and uphold justice, and work for restoring peace and stability in the Middle East,” it added.

United Kingdom
Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged Iran to return to the negotiating table and said that stability in the region remained a priority, according to a statement from Downing Street.

“Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat,” Starmer said in a statement.

European Union
The EU’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has called for de-escalation and a return to negotiations.

“I urge all sides to step back, return to the negotiating table and prevent further escalation,” Kallas wrote on X, adding Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and that EU foreign ministers will discuss the situation on Monday.

France
France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has expressed concern and urged “the parties to exercise restraint to avoid any escalation likely to lead to an extension of the conflict”.

In a statement on X, he added that France was “convinced that a lasting solution to this issue requires a negotiated solution within the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty”.

Germany
Chancellor Frederick Merz has called on Iran to immediately re-enter nuclear talks with the US so there can be a diplomatic solution, according to government spokesperson.

“The Chancellor and security cabinet ministers will coordinate closely with their European Union and US partners throughout the day,” spokesman Stefan Kornelius said in a statement.

Italy
“Now we hope that, after this attack, which caused massive damage to nuclear weapons production and posed a threat to the entire region, a de-escalation can begin and Iran can sit down at the negotiating table,” Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told state broadcaster RAI.

“Now we hope that, after this attack, which caused massive damage to nuclear weapons production and posed a threat to the entire region, a de-escalation can begin and Iran can sit down at the negotiating table,” Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told state broadcaster RAI.

Switzerland
Switzerland has urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint and immediately return to diplomacy, after the United States joined Israel’s war with Tehran by striking Iranian nuclear sites.

US Democrats
The top Democrat in the House of Representatives accused Trump of pushing the country towards war.

“President Trump misled the country about his intentions, failed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force and risks American entanglement in a potentially disastrous war in the Middle East,” Congressman Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement.

“Donald Trump shoulders complete and total responsibility for any adverse consequences that flow from his unilateral military action.”

US groups CAIR and AIPAC
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a US Muslim rights group, said the US attack is an “illegal and unjustified” act of war that comes under pressure from the “out-of-control” Israeli government, and despite the longstanding conclusion of the US intelligence that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.

On the other hand, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the powerful pro-Israel group in the US, praised the strikes ordered by Trump and said the US “must now work with our allies to protect our troops and regional interests against Iranian attacks”.

Japan
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba told reporters that it is crucial that there is a quick de-escalation of the conflict.

“We are closely monitoring the situation there with grave concern,” he said.

givedemwotowoto:
The problem is that the US doesn't want to enter into a long-term ground conflict so they will strike hard if Iran retaliates significantly. What they did was target specific sites, next move will determine whether Tehran remains a city or not. When authority crumbles in Iran, there will be internal revolt.
How has Afghanistan fared despite the trillions of dollars wasted fighting the Taliban?
Iran is like a techy version of the taliban.
Ps: The Iranians just placed a target on Americans in that region.

You're correct.

Outside Nigeria, apart from U.K most of the Nigerians residing in Europe, America, Asia, Australia are mainly Igbo. Even in unpopular African nations, Igbos are there as well.
A bank in Canada recently acknowledged the large amount of Yoruba speakers in the country by adding Yoruba to one of their business languages.
Yorubas have the highest population in Ireland, Canada, and USA. Same as the UK.

The places Igbos travel to is Asia. Especially China and the far east.
