US and Israel Launch Joint Military Attack on Iran

“Please accept my deepest condolences in connection with the assassination of the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, committed in cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law.”

“Global norms established since World War II are being seriously threatened by the logic of force. In this time when democracy and peace are once again under threat, we must deeply reflect on the spirit of the March 1 Movement.”

“Stability and peace are not built with mutual threats, nor with weapons, which sow destruction, pain, and death, but only through a reasonable, authentic, and responsible dialogue. The world is faced with the possibility of a tragedy of enormous proportions.”

“Iran has attacked Jordan without any justification, even as it is aware of the efforts Jordan has exerted to resolve the crisis peacefully. These attacks are a violation of international law with dangerous repercussions for the security and stability of the region.”

“We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.”

“Egypt completely rejects the ongoing Israeli escalation against Iran. Military options should not be used to resolve the standoff between Washington and Tehran. Dialogue and peaceful solutions are needed to prevent further regional instability.”

“Thanks to the channels we maintain with our allies and coalition partners, we were aware of the military action taken by Israel and the U.S.”

“The outbreak of war among the United States, Israel and Iran has serious consequences for peace and international security. France was not informed and did not participate in the strikes on Iran. France reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and ensure its security, but forcing regime change in Iran would be a strategic mistake.”

“Iran chose to become Putin's accomplice by supplying Shahed drones and the technology for Russia to produce them. It is fair to give the Iranian people a chance to rid themselves of a terrorist regime. It is important that the United States is acting decisively.”

“We are deeply saddened and concerned by the US and Israeli strikes on our neighbor Iran. We also consider unacceptable Iran's missile and drone strikes against our sister countries in the Gulf. If prudence and common sense do not prevail, if the space for diplomacy is not opened, our region risks being plunged into a ring of fire.”

“I strongly condemn this inhumane attack, express my condolences to the families of the victims, the residents of Minab, and the entire Iranian people. This barbaric act adds another dark page to the chronicle of countless crimes committed by aggressors on this land.”

“A bold, decisive act of strength by President Trump. The Ayatollah is responsible for killing hundreds of U.S. service members and slaughtering its own people. We pray that because of this leadership, the U.S. and the world will be a safer place.”

“Donald Trump failed to seek Congressional authorization prior to striking Iran. Instead, the President's decision to abandon diplomacy and launch a massive military attack has left American troops vulnerable to Iran's retaliatory actions.”

“Iran is facing the severe consequences of its evil actions.”

“I don't say it's not legitimate. No military action can put an end to Iran's capabilities.”

“This is a pivotal and necessary operation to protect Americans and American interests. The Iranian regime has never been weaker.”

“The American people do not want another endless and costly war. The Senate should quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act.”

“This Trump-Netanyahu war is unconstitutional and violates international law. It endangers the lives of U.S. troops and people across the region. We've lived through the lies of Vietnam and Iraq. No more endless wars. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution immediately.”

“The butcher's bill has finally come due for the ayatollahs.”

“Has President Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran? These strikes are a colossal mistake. Wars that aren't authorized by Congress don't have clear objectives.”

“For decades, Iran's regime has acted as a destabilizing force — arming terrorist proxies, mass slaughtering its own people, and pursuing nuclear capabilities with explicit intent to destroy Israel and America. They have targeted and killed Americans abroad and are actively attempting to assassinate Iranians and Americans on U.S. soil, and even the President.”

“This is a deeply consequential decision that risks pulling the U.S. into a broader conflict.”

“For too long, Iran and its tentacles of terror have destabilized the Middle East and waged an all-out assault on the West and our values. With today's strikes by U.S. forces led by our Commander-in-Chief, President Trump, there is finally an opening for these dark days to come to an end.”

“This military attack is illegal and unconstitutional. Trump's illegal actions raise the threat of escalation into a wider regional war with grave risks for U.S. troops and civilians in the region.”

“The days of the evil Iranian regime chanting 'Death to America,' threatening the very existence of our country and our allies, and oppressing its people are over. Operation Epic Fury is peace through strength on full display.”

“President Trump has been willing to do what's right and necessary to produce real peace.”

“There is this sticking point of the Constitution that we won't let presidents bomb countries just when they feel like it. They're supposed to ask the people, through the Congress, for permission.”

“Donald Trump's single-handedly starting another war with Iran is dangerous and illegal. 'America first' doesn't mean dragging the United States into another forever war built on lies while ignoring the needs of Americans here at home. The Constitution is clear: only Congress can declare war.”

“Praying for peace and the safety of U.S. military personnel.”

“Americans don't want to go to war with Iran. By launching strikes, President Trump has made the same dangerous and foolish decision President Bush did a generation ago. He put Americans in harm's way without clearly showing there's an imminent threat to our national security.”

“The Islamic Republic of Iran made 'death to America; death to Israel' a central pillar of its brutal rule. For decades, it wielded violence and repression at home and exported violence and terrorism abroad. A regime that relishes killing Arabs, Israelis, Americans, and its own people deserves no sympathy.”

“After promising to keep America out of war and instead focus on lowering costs for families, Donald Trump has launched a large-scale military operation against Iran. We've seen this playbook before. Weeks of inflated claims, selective facts, and talk of imminent threats that led the American people into a war that cost thousands of American lives and trillions of taxpayer dollars.”

“Today, President Trump took decisive action to neutralize the threat that the Islamic Republic of Iran has posed to the United States for 47 years. Despite repeated warnings, Iran continued to build its nuclear program and now it must face the consequences of failing to take the President of the United States seriously.”

“I lost friends in Iraq to an illegal war. Young working-class kids should not pay the ultimate price for regime change and a war that hasn't been explained or justified to the American people. President Trump promised no more forever wars. Instead, he has illegally dragged us into another one without congressional authorization and no long term strategy.”

“The Ayatollah has repeatedly tried to assassinate President Trump, now they are seeking nuclear weapons and the ability to hit American homeland. Today's action will enhance the national security of the United States and our allies.”

“These strikes are illegal, launched without a legitimate imminent threat to our homeland or our citizens. Trump is threatening to draw us into yet another expensive, taxpayer-funded forever war without constitutionally-required authorization.”

“Despite the dogged efforts of the president and his administration, the Iranian regime has refused the diplomatic off-ramps that would peacefully resolve these national security concerns. Iran posed a clear and unacceptable threat to U.S. servicemembers.”

“The Iranian regime is brutal and destabilizing. It cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. But the President has not explained why diplomatic talks that were underway this week are no longer viable. He has said in word and deed that this is war, a power that the constitution reserves for Congress alone.”

“The biggest change in the Middle East in a thousand years is upon us. The end of the largest state sponsor of terrorism is upon us. This operation has been well-planned, violent, extensive and I believe, at the end of the day, successful.”

“President Trump promised to end wars — not start them. These strikes are triggering attacks on U.S. military bases with no clear endgame and risk the situation quickly spiraling out of control, endangering our servicemembers and tens of millions of innocents.”

“The Constitution requires a vote, and your Representative needs to be on record as opposing or supporting this war.”

“Trump says his goal is to topple the Iranian regime, but the American people are tired of regime-change wars that cost us billions of dollars and risk our lives. Congress must reconvene on Monday to vote on Thomas Massie and my war powers resolution to stop this war.”

“The latest developments across the Middle East are perilous. Iran's regime has killed thousands. Its ballistic missile and nuclear programmes, along with support for terror groups, pose a serious threat to global security. The EU has adopted strong sanctions against Iran and supported diplomatic solutions, including on the nuclear issue.”

“Today, the United States, with our key democratic ally Israel, took decisive action to defend our national security, fight terror, protect our allies, and stand with the Iranian people who have been massacred in the streets for demanding freedom from the murderous Iranian regime.”

“A short while ago Israel and the United States launched an operation to remove the existential threat posed by the terror regime in Iran. The prophet Amos said: "The lion has roared -- who will not fear?" In Operation Roaring Lion, we roar. This murderous terror regime must not be allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons that would enable it to threaten all of humanity.”

“The State of Israel has launched a preemptive strike against Iran to remove threats against the State of Israel. As a result, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate timeframe.”

“The attack is unprovoked, illegal and absolutely illegitimate. Netanyahu and Trump's war against Iran is completely unjustified, illegal and contrary to all norms. Trump has turned the slogan "America first" into "Israel first," which always means "America last."”

“The United Kingdom played no role in these strikes. The regime in Iran is utterly abhorrent. They have murdered thousands of their own people, brutally crushed dissent, and sought to destabilise the region. Iran can end this now. They should refrain from further strikes, give up their weapons programmes, and cease the appalling violence and repression against the Iranian people.”

“I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge -- and a direct threat to international peace and security. There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control.”

“At this moment, our citizens, including the staff of the Polish embassy in Tehran, are safe, but we are prepared for various scenarios.”

“The Iranian people have the right to decide their own fate. The Iranian regime's days are numbered. Germany is committed to Israel's security and did not take part in strikes on Iran.”

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security. The Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East. Canada is not party to the military buildup or planning and will not participate militarily.”

“The Australian Government supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security. Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression.”
