The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has released an official statement regarding the overnight airstrikes by U.S. forces on sites in Iran associated with the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. Ukraine voiced its support for Washington’s actions, calling the joint U.S.-Israeli operation a clear warning to Tehran, reports Baltimore Chronicle with reference to the MFA of Ukraine.
According to the statement, it is Iran’s own destructive policies that have triggered the current situation. Kyiv insists on the complete dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program, asserting that it poses a threat to other nations. The Ministry emphasized that years of international efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue have proven fruitless, and that the U.S. had previously warned Tehran about the consequences of rejecting diplomatic solutions.
The MFA considers the joint action by the United States and Israel to be a firm signal to the Iranian regime that further destabilization in the region is unacceptable. Ukraine, having voluntarily relinquished its nuclear arsenal, sees this step as a major contribution to global disarmament and claims moral authority in demanding the elimination of Iran’s nuclear ambitions for the safety of the Middle East and the world.
The Ministry also addressed the military assistance that Iran is providing to the Russian Federation, noting that such actions make Tehran a participant in the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Kyiv has once again urged the Iranian government to immediately cease all support for Russia.
Finally, the Ukrainian MFA stated that the Iranian people deserve to live in a free and prosperous society, not under the constraints imposed by the current regime.
