The joint statement accused Israel of acting on the provocation of American imperialism, stating the attack was not only an intervention against Iran's sovereignty but also a blatant breach of international norms.
“The United States, under the pretext of nuclear weapons, has backed this attack on Iran. This act qualifies as a serious war crime. We strongly condemn and denounce this assault, which seems to be a reckless attempt at instigating a global war,” the statement reads.
The parties also called for an immediate ceasefire and urged all concerned parties to resolve the conflict peacefully, in accordance with the UN Charter, Panchasheel principles, and international law.
Furthermore, they urged the Nepal government to ensure the safety and preparedness for evacuation of Nepali citizens currently residing in Iran.
