Several Latin American countries have criticized the US strikes on Iran, while others voiced alarm and called for peace.
CNN reports that Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemned the strikes in a post on X late Saturday, warning it could expand the conflict in the region.
“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 also condemned the attack on X, writing: “We demand and need peace.”
Venezuela’s Foreign Affairs Ministry condemned what it called “the military aggression against Iran,” in a statement.
Others called for dialogue and de-escalation.
Colombia’s foreign ministry urged all parties to resume negotiations as “the only responsible and lasting way out of the current crisis,” while Mexico’s foreign ministry wrote on X: “Restoring peaceful coexistence among the states in the region remains the highest priority.”
