A wave of reactions poured in from world leaders following the United States’ military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities — Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan — late Sunday (Iran time). While Israel hailed the attack as a bold act of leadership, the United Nations and several countries including Venezuela, Cuba, and Mexico condemned the strikes, warning of grave consequences for regional and global stability.
Israel Praises Trump’s Leadership
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a recorded statement, strongly backed the U.S. action:
“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… History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world’s most dangerous regime the world’s most dangerous weapons.”
President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.’

U.N. Chief Urges De-escalation
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres issued a stern warning about the rising tensions:
“I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge — and a direct threat to international peace and security.
I call on Member States to de-escalate and uphold their obligations under the UN Charter. There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.”
Venezuela Condemns ‘Military Aggression’
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil, on Telegram, denounced the strikes:
“Venezuela condemns U.S. military aggression against Iran and demands an immediate cessation of hostilities. These bombings, at the request of Israel, are a blatant violation of international norms and pose a threat to regional peace.”
Mexico Calls for Peaceful Dialogue
The Mexican Foreign Ministry, in a statement on X (formerly Twitter), reiterated its stance on neutrality and peace:
“The ministry urgently calls for diplomatic dialogue for peace between the parties involved in the Middle East conflict. We reaffirm our commitment to pacifism and the peaceful coexistence of nations.”
Cuba Warns of Dangerous Escalation
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel took to social media to denounce the U.S. military action:
“We strongly condemn the U.S. bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, which constitutes a dangerous escalation. This aggression violates the U.N. Charter and international law and risks plunging humanity into a crisis with irreversible consequences.”
What Happened?
The United States, under President Donald Trump, launched targeted airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites using B-2 stealth bombers and bunker buster bombs. The move is seen as a major escalation in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, which has already resulted in hundreds of casualties across the region.
The Pentagon stated the strikes were “limited and precise,” aimed at crippling Iran’s nuclear capability. However, no official U.S. comment has been made on civilian impact or potential next steps.
