Iran’s Response
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the strikes as a “criminal violation of Iranian sovereignty,”
insisting the country retains its “inherent right to self-defense.” His remarks echoed public reactions in Tehran,
where citizens expressed both nationalist anger and fatigue after years of sanctions and economic strain.
Domestic Tensions
Iran’s leadership signaled the attacks would not be treated as isolated incidents, suggesting a tougher stance ahead.
While some Iranians demanded immediate retaliation, others worried about the risk of a wider regional war,
highlighting a sharp internal divide between pride and caution.
U.S. and Israeli Position
Washington and Jerusalem defended the operation as necessary. U.S. officials called it a strategic success to curb nuclear threats,
while Israeli leaders welcomed decisive action, pointing to a coordinated effort to shift the regional balance.
Global Concerns
European leaders urged restraint, warning of a “chain of retaliation.”
At the UN, fears grew that international law is weakening, as rising oil prices and market volatility underscored global instability.
