Cuba, Chile, Venezuela condemn US attack on Iran, Mexico, Columbia urge negotiations

Web Desk: A number of Latin American countries have voiced strong opposition to the recent US air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, condemning what they describe as a dangerous escalation and a breach of international law.

Several leaders and foreign ministries across the region called for restraint, urging a return to diplomacy to prevent further destabilisation in the Middle East.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, in a post on social media platform X , denounced the strikes as a “grave violation” of international norms.

“We strongly condemn the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, which constitutes a dangerous escalation of the conflict in the Middle East,” he wrote. “This aggression gravely violates the UN Charter and international law and plunges humanity into a crisis with irreversible consequences.”

Chilean President Gabriel Boric echoed the concern, stating simply: “We demand and need peace.”

Venezuela’s Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a statement condemning what it termed “military aggression against Iran,” while reaffirming its solidarity with Tehran.

Colombia and Mexico adopted a more measured tone, appealing for dialogue to resolve the crisis. Colombia’s foreign ministry stressed that negotiations remained “the only responsible and lasting way out of the current crisis.” Mexico, in a post on X, called for the “restoration of peaceful coexistence” among regional states, highlighting diplomacy as the “highest priority.”
