How world leaders are reacting to U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran

"The European Union has adopted extensive sanctions in response to the actions of Iran's murderous regime and the Revolutionary Guards and has consistently promoted diplomatic efforts aimed at addressing the nuclear and ballistic programmes through a negotiated solution."

"The ongoing escalation is dangerous for all. It must stop. France, Germany and the U.K. reiterated their commitment to regional stability and called for a resumption of negotiations."

"A regime that relies on the repression and murder of its own people to retain power is without legitimacy. Calls to uphold the human rights of the people of Iran have gone unheeded."

International leaders issued statements responding to escalating tensions involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran. EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen called for maximum restraint and civilian protection while noting EU sanctions against Iran's regime. French President Macron warned the outbreak of war carries grave consequences and demanded UN Security Council intervention. France, Germany, and the UK jointly committed to regional stability and negotiations. Canadian Prime Minister Carney supported U.S. actions, labeling Iran a source of Middle East instability. Australian Prime Minister Albanese backed the U.S. decision and expressed solidarity with Iranian protesters against regime oppression. Saudi Arabia condemned Iranian aggression and called for international measures.
