Military strikes conducted by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran: Dangerous Implications for International Law
The Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy (LCNP) expresses grave concern regarding the military strikes conducted by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran—attacks that already led to wider armed conflict and prompted the Emergency Meeting of the United Nations Security Council on 28 February 2026. The strikes against Iran risked dangerous escalation with profound implications for international peace and security, the integrity of the United Nations Charter system, and the global nuclear non-proliferation regime at large.
