NSC, SLMC denounce Israel’s attack on Iran
View(s):The National Shoora Council (NSC) has condemned what it calls “Israel’s unprovoked aggression on Iran” on Friday (13), when multiple Iranian civilian targets were attacked, killing civilians, scientists, and causing damage to civilian nuclear facilities.
Issuing a media statement, the NSC said it strongly condemns the dangerous Israeli attacks on Iran’s electricity-generating civilian nuclear plants, which could have resulted in extensive radiation leaks, causing death and destruction to millions in the region. It further stated that US President Donald Trump must be equally condemned for admiring the Israeli attacks as “excellent’ as quoted by the BBC.
The statement added that undeclared attacks were launched by “nuclear armed Israel”, provoking “non-nuclear armed Iran” into an uncalled-for war on the pretext of unresolved nuclear-related issues hitherto dealt with through dialogue by the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
“NSC urges the Sri Lanka government to condemn the Israeli attacks, promote dialogue through the IAEA in the interest of world peace and economic relief and ensure the prompt and safe return of the 20,000 Sri Lankans sent by the previous government to Israel to replace the Palestinians, thereby illegally aiding the Israeli settlers in the ‘Occupied Palestinian Territories’ in violation of the recent advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice,” the statement emphasised.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Muslim Congress Leader Rauff Hakeem, also condemned Israel’s attack on Iran. In a statement, he said, “It is utterly unconscionable that the Netanyahu Government, in continuation of its fleeting contempt, born of an entrenched culture of impunity, for International Law and the principles of the United Nations, carried out a series of air attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran on 13th June 2025.”
Describing the attack as a blatant attempt to destabilise Iran and create chaos across the wider region, he said, “We unreservedly condemn these dastardly acts, so callously executed with the full complicity of Israel’s strategic patrons. “
