Calls for diplomatic solutions following US strikes on Iran

THE uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has issued a stern condemnation of the United States’ recent military assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities, describing it as an unjustifiable act of aggression that threatens global peace and sovereignty.

In a statement released yesterday, the MK Party denounced the attack carried out overnight against strategic sites at Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow as a flagrant violation of international law and an escalation of unilateral military actions that undermine efforts toward diplomacy and stability.

According to the MK Party, the US strikes, which involved Tomahawk missiles and GBU-57 bunker-busters, lacked authorisation from the United Nations Security Council.

"This reckless act is not defence; it is an outright declaration of war against the Iranian people," the statement declared. It disregards Iran’s sovereignty and the principles of peace, self-determination, and non-intervention that underpin international law."
