Berlin: Germany, France, and the UK issued a joint statement on Sunday urging Iran to refrain from any further actions that could destabilize the region following US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities. The E3 countries emphasized the importance of maintaining stability in the region to prevent further escalation of tensions. According to Anadolu Agency, the joint statement was released several hours after the United States launched strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, including the Fordo facility. The US utilized bunker-buster bombs and cruise missiles in these operations. The E3 countries reaffirmed their commitment to continue diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions and ensure the conflict does not intensify. The joint statement called upon Iran to engage in negotiations to reach an agreement addressing concerns associated with its nuclear program. The E3 countries expressed their readiness to contribute to achieving this goal in coordination with all involved parties. They reiterated their aim to prevent Ira n from acquiring a nuclear weapon and their commitment to peace and stability in the region, while also voicing support for Israel's security. US President Donald Trump announced early Sunday that US forces had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites located in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. The US deployed six bunker-buster bombs using B-2 stealth bombers on the Fordo facility and launched dozens of submarine-launched cruise missiles targeting the Natanz and Isfahan facilities. The attacks marked a significant escalation in the US-backed Israeli military assault on Iran, which began on June 13. In response, Tehran launched retaliatory attacks on Israel, resulting in at least 25 fatalities and hundreds of injuries, according to Israeli authorities.
