Foreign Ministry reacts to US attack on Iran nuclear site

Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has vehemently condemned the brutal U.S. military aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, noting that the world should not forget it was the United States that started a dangerous war against the Islamic Republic.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (A.E.O.I.) said in a statement early on Sunday that the United States has claimed responsibility for the strikes on nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

In reaction to the U.S. attacks, Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Sunday, categorically denouncing the savage military aggression.

The U.S. strikes were committed in flagrant and unprecedented violation of the most fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and the international law, the statement read.

Earlier on June 13, the Zionist regime had started a war with Iran. The Zionist regime attacked residential buildings in Tehran, in an unprovoked act of aggression overnight. Top Iranian military officials were assassinated in targeted strikes. Civilians died when houses were directly struck. Entire population centers were affected.
