Iran Slams US Attack on Nuclear Sites as “unforgivable,” thrusting the Middle East—and the world—into one of the most volatile confrontations in recent history. After coordinated US strikes hit key nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, Tehran has vowed retaliation, warning that American bases and regional allies are now within reach. Global powers are scrambling to contain the fallout as oil markets tremble, diplomats rush into emergency talks, and fears of a wider war intensify. With nuclear diplomacy in ruins and military threats escalating by the hour, the question looms large: is this a limited strike—or the spark of a far greater conflict?

Introduction: World on Edge After US Strikes Iranian Nuclear Facilities

In an unprecedented move, the United States has launched coordinated strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, triggering international uproar and sharp Iranian condemnation. The Iranian government has labeled the attack “unforgivable” and a “blatant violation of international law,” vowing retaliation under its legitimate right to self-defence.

This article explores the full geopolitical, military, and diplomatic scope of the crisis, including reactions from global powers, possible Iranian retaliation, and the international legal implications of the strikes.

What Happened: Details of the US Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Sites

According to military sources and statements from both nations, the US deployed B-2 Spirit stealth bombers and B-52 aircrafts to strike the underground Fordow facility with GBU-57 bunker busters, while 30 Tomahawk missiles were launched from US submarines to hit Isfahan and Natanz.

Iran has accused the US and Israel of coordinating the operation, with President Trump publicly claiming that the mission was a “success” and warning Iran: “There are many more targets left.”

IRGC: “Not Strength but Vulnerability”

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a fiery statement saying that US bases across the Middle East “have become vulnerable targets” and that Iran has “monitored and identified the flight paths” of the American bombers involved in the attacks.

“This was a criminal act of strategic incompetence. Washington will pay a heavy price,” the IRGC warned.

Foreign Minister Araghchi: “Unforgivable Aggression”

Speaking at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit in Istanbul, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the US action as:

“A grave and unprecedented violation of international law and the UN Charter. Iran has done nothing wrong. This aggression is built on falsehoods.”

He further announced emergency consultations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and hinted at military retaliation coupled with diplomatic countermeasures.

Europe Calls for Restraint

EU Council President Antonio Costa: Urged immediate de-escalation and return to nuclear negotiations.

German Chancellor Merz: Called on Iran to return to talks but admitted Iran “never left.”

Ursula von der Leyen (EC President): Emphasized nuclear safety and reiterated support for a “diplomatic resolution.”

Red Cross Warns of ‘Irreversible Consequences’

ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric issued a rare warning:

“This is a dangerous collapse of the global rules-based system. War cannot become limitless. Civilians must be spared, and diplomacy must prevail.”

She also confirmed that Red Cross teams are active in both Iran and Israel to prepare for humanitarian fallout.

US Attack Legal Implications: Violation of International Law?

Iran and international law scholars argue that the US strikes violated:

The UN Charter (Article 2.4) prohibits force against another state.

The IAEA Safeguards Agreement, as the nuclear sites were under international inspection.

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) guarantees peaceful nuclear energy use.

Iran is now calling for UN Security Council action and has accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of inaction.

US Attack on Nuclear Sites as ‘Unforgivable’: Is Iran Preparing Military Retaliation?

Iranian officials have hinted at retaliation in line with the "right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter". Some possible scenarios include:

US Attack on Nuclear Sites as ‘Unforgivable’: Is There Still a Window for Peace?

Araghchi emphasized that while diplomacy must always remain an option, current circumstances make it “impossible.”

“We were in the middle of talks with the US and Europe when bombs started falling. The US has betrayed diplomacy.”

Iran blames both the Trump administration and Israeli PM Netanyahu for destroying any chance of peace through negotiation.

US Attack on Nuclear Sites as ‘Unforgivable’: Russia, Turkey, and Regional Players Step In

Russia

Araghchi is set to meet with President Putin in Moscow for “serious consultations,” indicating that Russia may act as a counterbalance to US aggression.

Turkey

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is reportedly mediating efforts to halt further Israeli strikes. Iran has welcomed Turkey’s role in brokering a ceasefire.

Gulf Nations and the OIC

While the UAE, Qatar, and Oman have condemned the US strike, they are also urging Iran not to escalate. The OIC summit in Istanbul is expected to issue a joint statement supporting Iran's sovereignty and condemning foreign intervention.

With both Iran and the US digging in, and Israel continuing to strike Iranian-linked assets, the world may be on the verge of the largest Middle East war in decades. The collapse of nuclear diplomacy and disregard for international law signal a new era of confrontation.

Iran’s next move—whether measured or massive—will likely determine whether this spirals into a wider regional war, possibly drawing in Russia, Turkey, and Gulf countries.
