Ukraine\u2019s Foreign Ministry said on June 22 that Iran\u2019s nuclear program must be dismantled to prevent it from threatening the Middle East or the wider world, following U.S. air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iranian regime\u2019s aggressive actions and long-standing destructive policy aimed at undermining global peace and security \u2013 particularly its hostility toward Israel and others \u2013 have led to the current situation,\u201d the ministry said<\/a> in an official statement.<\/p>\n

These comments come after<\/a> U.S. President Donald Trump announced<\/a> on June 21 that the U.S. air strikes targeted three nuclear sites in Iran<\/a>, Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, joining Israel<\/a>‘s campaign against Iran’s nuclear program amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The ministry added that Iran continues to destabilize the region through its support of proxy groups and is complicit<\/a> in Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran is complicit in the crime of aggression against Ukraine. The Iranian regime is providing military assistance to Russia, including the supply of UAVs and technologies that Russia consistently uses to kill people and destroy critical infrastructure,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

The ministry noted that although the U.S. and other nations have made peaceful diplomatic efforts to curb Iran\u2019s nuclear ambitions, these efforts have ultimately failed to produce meaningful results.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs early as this spring, the United States warned Iran of the consequences in the absence of constructive steps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ukraine also asserted its unique moral position on nuclear issues, having given up the world\u2019s third-largest nuclear arsenal in the 1990s, and argued that the elimination of Iran\u2019s nuclear ambitions would enhance global safety.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Moscow has diplomatically backed Iran after Israel<\/a> launched the initial air strikes against Iranian military and nuclear targets on June 13, an operation that sparked further waves of aerial attacks from both sides.<\/p>\n

In its statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry urged a response from the U.N. Security Council, saying that “the confrontational actions of the U.S. and Israel must be collectively rejected.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe enjoy a strategic partnership and we always consult with each other and coordinate our positions,\u201d Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said with reference to Russia.<\/p>\n
