Berri says Israel 'assassinating peace efforts' as Salam slams attack on Iran
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Friday condemned Israel’s massive attack on Iran’s nuclear and missile facilities and top military leaders and nuclear scientists, saying Israel’s hostile actions in the region “represent a cross-border threat to independent countries and to international security and stability.”
Berri also stressed “full solidarity” with Iran, offered condolences over the slain Iranians and called on the international community to take a “serious and frank stance before it’s too late,” accusing Israel of “assassinating any effort for establishing the rules of fair and comprehensive peace in the world and in the Middle East region.”
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam for his part strongly condemned the Israeli attack, calling it “a blatant violation of international law and Iran’s sovereignty” and warning that “its repercussions threaten the stability of the entire region and even international peace.”
