Governments across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America have condemned the U.S.–Israel military strikes on Iran, urging an immediate halt to hostilities and a return to diplomatic negotiations.
Russia and China described the attacks as violations of international law and called for restraint, warning that continued escalation could destabilise the broader region. Both governments urged an urgent diplomatic solution and criticised the widening scope of the conflict. Several Global South nations — including Brazil, South Africa, Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia — expressed opposition to the strikes, warning of humanitarian consequences and the risk of further regional spillover. Turkey and Oman also voiced concern, calling for de-escalation.
In Europe, Spain and Norway were among the countries that criticised the strikes and emphasised the need for dialogue. France, Germany and the United Kingdom urged restraint and a return to negotiations, though their statements stopped short of direct condemnation. India called for an early end to the conflict, citing risks to regional stability, global trade and the safety of nationals in the region.
International legal bodies and humanitarian organisations have also raised concerns, arguing that continued military action risks breaching international law and exacerbating civilian harm. As fighting intensifies across multiple fronts, diplomatic pressure appears to be mounting for a ceasefire and renewed talks.
