Venezuela condemned the US and Israeli strikes on Iran — while also criticizing Tehran’s “undue” retaliatory attacks on US military bases across the Gulf region.
“Venezuela condemns and regrets deeply that, in a context in which diplomatic efforts and ongoing negotiations are being developed, the military route was opted for, through attacks against Iran,” the Venezuelan government said in a statement Saturday.
