TEHRAN — A broad coalition of Latin American governments and political movements has condemned recent U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iran, voicing solidarity with Tehran and calling the attacks a violation of international law.

The coordinated diplomatic backlash, spanning from Cuba to Chile, draws on the region’s historic anti-imperialist position and represents a unified challenge to U.S. and Israeli policy in West Asia.

Cuban Foreign Ministry described the strikes as a “blatant violation” of Iran’s sovereignty and the United Nations Charter. President Miguel Díaz-Canel’s government expressed full solidarity with Tehran, and the head of Cuba’s National Assembly called the United States and Israel the principal threats to world peace.

Brazil’s government, in an official statement, warned that the attacks undermined ongoing diplomatic efforts and posed serious risks to global energy and food security. Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira condemned the strikes in a call with his Iranian counterpart. The left-wing Workers’ Party and the Brazilian Communist Party also issued statements affirming Iran’s right to self-defense.

Colombia’s president described the aggression as a “massive” threat to humanity and called for an immediate ceasefire. Chile’s Communist Party warned that the attacks endangered regional and international stability.

In Venezuela, the Fuerza Patriótica “Alexis Vive” movement called the strikes a continuation of imperialist aggression and praised Iran’s resistance. Peru’s leftist coalition Venceremos demanded an immediate halt to the attacks. Ecuador’s Communist Party rejected any justification based on “imminent threat,” accusing imperialist powers of hiding hegemonic aims behind security rhetoric.

Smaller statements came from the Dominican Republic’s Communist Party of Labor, Uruguay’s Communist Party, and Mexico, which called for de-escalation and political dialogue.
