Cuba condemns in the strongest terms the attacks perpetrated this 28 February by the United States and Israel, which breach the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and International Law. This irresponsible and deliberate attack boycotts the efforts of international diplomacy regarding the nuclear issue, for the second time and while negotiations on the nuclear issue were underway.
