World Governments Issue Statements After Recent U.S. Announcement

In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia expressed concern over rising instability, while groups aligned with Iran — including Yemen’s Houthis and Lebanon’s Hezbollah — condemned the U.S. action as aggression.

Countries across the globe stressed the need to prevent a regional war and pursue diplomatic solutions, as governments assessed the broader implications of the strike.
