Twenty-two countries, including the United States, Australia, and several European states, issued a joint statement calling on Iran to immediately cease "attacks against persons" on their territories. The statement, also released by the French Foreign Ministry, condemned "assassination attempts and other malicious acts" carried out in Europe, North America, and Australia by elements acting on behalf of the Iranian state, saying "the Islamic Republic of Iran must stop these acts immediately."
Twenty-two nations — led by the United States, Australia, and European powers — issued a coordinated joint statement today, published by the French Foreign Ministry, demanding that Iran immediately stop what they described as "attacks against persons" on their soil. The statement condemned "assassination attempts and other malicious acts" in Europe, North America, and Australia by elements acting on behalf of the Iranian state.
As The Zioneer reported on June 10, Australia and Canada had already urged their citizens to leave Iran over regional tensions. Those travel advisories and today's diplomatic démarche share the same thread: a spike in Iranian overseas assassination plots against dissidents, exiles, and Israeli/Jewish targets, documented by Western intelligence agencies in recent months.
The Gulf Cooperation Council issued its own condemnation of Iranian attacks on member states on June 10, calling them "a blatant violation of international law." The new joint statement broadens the coalition, bringing European and Oceanian capitals into direct confrontation with Tehran over extraterritorial targeting.
What remains open: whether Iran will acknowledge the demand, and whether the 22 nations intend to escalate with sanctions or retaliatory measures if the operations continue.
