The attack by Israel (which is not a party to any of the international disarmament treaties) on nuclear facilities of Iran (which is a party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and adheres to its provisions) as well as targeting residential areas and killing civilian is a clear violation of the United Nations Charter and international law and is undoubtedly a war crime. The continuation of these attacks, supported by some countries claiming human rights and the silence of international bodies against such war crimes, is also evidence of the statement made by the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Ms. Spoljaric, who stated a few days ago in an interview: International humanitarian law (IHL) is being emptied of content...

The Tehran Peace Museum, while condemning these attacks by a regime that has proven to have no respect for international law and ethics, calls for immediate international action to stop these atrocities

The Tehran Peace Museum wishes prosperity for our beloved homeland of Iran. Hoping that life in peace and tranquility will soon return to the country.
