Aoun warns against entangling Lebanon in war after US strikes on Iran
Aoun warns against entangling Lebanon in war after US strikes on Iran President Joseph Aoun said Sunday that Lebanon does not want to 'pay the price of more wars' and that 'there is no national interest' in joining the Israel-Iran war after the U.S. strikes on Iran's key nuclear sites. 'Lebanon, with its leadership, parties and people, realizes today more than ever that it has preciously paid for the wars that erupted on its soil and in the region, and it does not want to pay any further and there is no national interest in that,' Aoun said. 'The cost of these wars has been and will be greater than it can bear,' the president warned. Noting that 'the bombardment of the Iranian nuclear facilities increases the fear that the tensions could spread in a manner that threatens security and stability in many areas and countries,' Aoun urged 'restraint and the launch of constructive and serious negotiations to restore stability in the region's countries and avoid further killing and destruction.' Aoun had earlier received a phone call from Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and they discussed 'the dangerous developments in the region and the possible repercussions on Lebanon.' 'They agreed to keep communication channels open between them and to jointly work to spare Lebanon these situations, put the higher national interest first, and preserve unity and national solidarity,' the National News Agency said. Salam also held phone talks with the ministers of defense and interior and the army chief in order to 'take the necessary security measures to preserve domestic stability and national security during this critical period.' Lebanon's new leadership, which came after Israel and the Hezbollah's devastating war, has urged that the country avoid being dragged into more conflict as it tries to rebuild itself and pull itself from yearslong economic crisis. Hezbollah has not taken military action against Israel in solidarity with its key ally Iran in the conflict, but has not yet commented on Washington's overnight strikes.

Iran: The War Has Now Begun
In the first reaction from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to the US strikes targeting nuclear facilities in Iran, they said: "Now the war has begun." The United States launched a military attack on several Iranian nuclear sites at dawn in what was described as the "boldest strike in years" against Tehran's nuclear infrastructure, sparking a wave of tension and mixed international reactions. According to US media reports, the strikes targeted heavily fortified nuclear sites, most notably the underground Fordow facility, as well as sites in Natanz and Isfahan. The US forces used special bunker-buster bombs dropped by B-2 bombers, alongside Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from naval ships in the region. Fox News reported that the operation destroyed critical infrastructure at these sites, considering that "Iran's nuclear ambitions have officially ended." In a televised speech, US President Donald Trump announced that the operation aimed to "eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities and prevent any future threats to global security," confirming that "the three facilities were completely destroyed," and described the event as a "remarkable military success and a deterrent message to Tehran." Trump warned that upcoming strikes would be "more severe and extensive" if Iran did not respond to calls for peace. On its part, Tehran strongly condemned the attack, which Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi considered a blatant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter. He wrote on the X: "The United States has committed a serious violation by attacking peaceful nuclear facilities, and the events of this morning will have severe consequences." Araghchi stressed that "Iran retains all options for a legitimate response in defense of its sovereignty," warning of lasting repercussions from these strikes.
