Reacting to the unprovoked strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities on Friday by the Zionist regime of Israel, Mohamed ElBaradei, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from December 1997 to November 2009, addressed the German Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs on his X account and wrote:

“Did anyone tell you, sir, that ‘targeted strikes against nuclear facilities’ are prohibited under Article 56 of the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions, to which Germany is a party? And that the use of force in international relations is generally prohibited under Article 2(4) of the @UN Charter, with the exception of the right of self-defense in the case of an armed attack, or upon authorization by the Security Council in the case of collective security action?
You might want to familiarize yourself with the basic tenets of international law.”
Friedrich Merz, the German Chancellor, had reportedly expressed his support for the Israeli regime’s aggression against Iran during a telephone call with the Zionist regime’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
