UN Experts Denounce US, Israel Strikes on Iran, Lebanon
"The conflict risks engulfing the wider region in catastrophic armed violence and threatens to set yet another precedent of total impunity for some of the world’s strongest military powers," the officials stated.
They emphasized that the unprovoked offensive by the US and Israel toward Iran is "entirely illegal" under international law and qualifies as an act of aggression.
"US and Israel should stop waging and expanding wars, and considering themselves as above international legality," the statement highlighted.
The experts voiced concern over the US demand for Iran’s "unconditional surrender," cautioning that it could result in a prolonged conflict and immense human suffering.
They also condemned US pushes for regime change, including remarks by US President Donald Trump that "he will choose the future leadership of Iran."
"No violations of human rights in Iran or elsewhere provide any legal or moral justification for an unwarranted interference with the sovereignty of a UN Member State and an illegal attack."
