World leaders react after Trump says U.S. has bombed 3 nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo

World leaders reacted to President Donald Trump’s announcement Saturday that the U.S. had carried out a “very successful attack” on three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo.

“This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Here’s how world reacted after the attack.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement on X that his nation “reserves all options” in responding to the attack.

“The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences,” Araghch said. “Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior. In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people.”

Araghchi said that the attacks on “Iran’s peaceful nuclear installations,” by the U.S. were “a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “Trump’s bold decision will change history.” Speaking minutes after the attack, Netanyahu said, “President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.’ First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, Donald Trump and the United States acted with a lot of strength.”

Meanwhile, China strongly condemned the U.S. attack on Iran and on nuclear facilities supervised by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Sunday.

The move seriously violates the United Nations Charter and worsens tensions in the Middle East, the ministry said in a statement on its website.

China urged parties to the conflict, especially Israel, to cease attacks as soon as possible and begin dialogue and negotiations, the ministry said.

Elsewhere, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the U.S. strikes on Iran represent a dangerous escalation in an already volatile region, posing a serious threat to global peace and security.
