Lebanese President Voices Concern Over Regional Escalation After Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites

The President of Lebanon has expressed serious concern over rising tensions in the Middle East following recent U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. His remarks come in the wake of a sharp escalation in regional hostilities that has drawn international attention and alarm.

The U.S. reportedly targeted Iran’s key nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, in what American officials describe as a decisive operation. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the airstrikes had "completely destroyed" the targeted facilities — a move that has significantly raised the stakes across the region.

In his statement, the Lebanese President warned that the intensifying conflict could destabilize the broader Middle East, endangering not only the countries directly involved but also neighboring states. He urged all parties to exercise restraint and prioritize diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the crisis.

Lebanon, which has long maintained a delicate balance in regional politics, reiterated its call for peaceful solutions and expressed hope that international actors would work quickly to prevent further deterioration.
