Russia, an ally of Tehran, condemned the aggression against Iran. President Vladimir Putin said that the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and members of his family was a cynical crime that violated all norms of human morality and international law. China also strongly condemned the killing of Ali Khamenei and called for an immediate halt to military actions. In Brussels, the EU\u00a0High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, said that the death of the supreme leader was a decisive moment in the history of Iran, which has an open path that the people could have more freedom to shape. For her part, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, spoke both of hope and of a real risk of instability, likely to throw the region into a spiral of violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reactions \u2013 The UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres condemned the military escalation in the Middle East and warned that international peace and security were being undermined, but at an emergency meeting of the Security Council, the United States and Israel argued that the attacks in Iran were aimed at removing an imminent danger posed by the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":731782,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[30207,29715,30521,29724],"coauthors":[116091],"class_list":["post-988510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsflash","tag-bombing","tag-iran","tag-reactions","tag-un"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
