Unlawful Strikes on Iran

The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) asserts that US and Israeli military strikes on Iran are illegal acts of aggression that destabilize the region and cause destruction to both human life and the environment. CIEL argues that these attacks cannot be justified as efforts to promote human rights or democracy, noting that such military actions have already resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths. The organization calls on the international community, including European leaders, to reject the normalization of force and instead prioritize diplomacy, multilateralism, and nuclear restraint to protect the environment and the rule of law.

• CIEL characterizes the US and Israeli military attacks on Iran as illegal acts of aggression that violate international law and pose a risk of starting a prolonged war, while causing destruction to the environment and human life.
• The organization rejects the use of human rights and democracy as justifications for these strikes, stating that such military actions have already killed hundreds of civilians.
