In a statement, the organization affirmed that the military action is a flagrant violation of International Law and the Charter of the United Nations, and brutally undermines the sovereignty and territorial integrity of that Islamic Republic and the fragile regional stability. I

It is particularly serious and revealing that this attack occurred just one day after a new round of talks on the Iranian nuclear program concluded in Geneva, talks which, according to the mediators themselves, had registered “significant progress,” the statement noted.

In this regard, it pointed out that by launching this offensive, the United States and Israel deliberately undermined the diplomatic path and opted for the unilateral imposition of their designs through brute force, ignoring the calls of the international community for a negotiated solution.

The statements issued by the leaders of Washington and Tel Aviv are equally alarming and show the petty and illegal nature of their interests, the ICAP exoressed.

President Donald Trump justified the operation with the explicit goal of achieving “regime change” and urged the Iranian people to wage civil war to overthrow the current government, while Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his aspiration to “eliminate the existential threat” to the Zionist regime.

Expressing its commitment to multilateralism and peace, the ICAP demanded that the competent international mechanisms and institutions for conflict resolution act accordingly and hold those responsible for these attacks accountable.
