Iran slams US for striking nuclear sites, warns of consequences

Iran condemned U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites, warning of serious repercussions and urging the UN Security Council to hold America accountable.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has condemned U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, accusing Washington of violating the United Nations Charter. Araghchi made these remarks on Sunday, June 22, and warned of long-lasting consequences.

He urged members of the UN Security Council to denounce what he called a “dangerous” U.S. action. According to Reuters, the minister said Iran reserves the right to defend itself by all means necessary under international law.

The U.S. strikes involved B-2 Spirit bombers targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities, including sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. U.S. officials confirmed the operation to CNN but did not provide details on the scale of the damage.

No reports have yet emerged on the extent of destruction, although Iran’s state media acknowledged that the strikes had hit major complexes. Analysts told BBC News that these facilities play a crucial role in Iran’s nuclear program.

In response, U.S. President Donald Trump called the strikes a success and threatened further action if Iran retaliates. This sharp rhetoric raises fears that tensions could escalate into a broader regional conflict.

Observers with the International Crisis Group have expressed serious concern about the strikes and warned they could undermine diplomatic efforts. The United Nations has called on all parties to exercise restraint to avoid a dangerous spiral of violence.

As the situation develops, international mediators emphasize the need for immediate de-escalation and dialogue. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the crisis can be contained or will further destabilize an already tense region.
