Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said his country condemns the “brutal military aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities”.

“We suddenly faced aggression by American forces on our nuclear facilities. The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns in the strongest terms the United States’ brutal military aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities,” he told a press briefing in Istanbul.

“It is an outrageous, grave and unprecedented violation of the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law,” he added.
