The U.S. and Israel launched a large-scale military offensive against Iran, targeting governmental and military sites, including areas near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s offices in Tehran. President Trump urged the Iranian public to 'seize control of your destiny' by rising up against the Islamic leadership.
Russia strongly condemned the joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes on Iran, describing the action as a 'preplanned and unprovoked act of armed aggression' against a sovereign UN member state. Moscow warned that the attacks risked causing humanitarian, economic, and radiological disasters in the region.
The United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran as part of what President Donald Trump labeled a 'massive and ongoing' campaign aimed at overthrowing the Iranian regime. The offensive, called Operation Epic Fury, followed months of failed negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and escalating tensions.
European leaders from Britain, France, and Germany have jointly called for the resumption of U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations following recent U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran, which they did not participate in. They emphasized the need for diplomacy and urged Iran to halt military aggression and re-enter negotiations.
