Norway says Israeli strikes on Iran breach international law

Norway’s foreign minister argues that the strikes on Iran broke international law, calling for a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

“The attack is described by Israel as a pre-emptive strike, but it is not in accordance with international law. A pre-emptive attack would require the existence of an imminent threat,” Espen Barth Eide says in an email sent to AFP by his office.

He does not mention US strikes.
