The Iranian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear sites, calling them an "unprecedented and severe breach of international law." Tehran asserts its right to self-defense and accused the U.S. of enabling Israeli aggression, thereby undermining diplomatic efforts. "The United States disregards all norms and rules, shielding war crimes and the goals of an occupying regime," the ministry said. Iran vowed to fully defend its sovereignty and national interests in response to what it termed as "criminal acts by a rogue administration."
