Lukashenko calls strikes on Iran absolutely illegal, talks about play staged by EU, USA

Wednesday, 02.07.2025 - 10:13

Strikes on Iran are absolutely illegal. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement during a solemn assembly held on 1 July in anticipation of Independence Day, BelTA has learned.

The head of state noted that the current strikes on Iran resemble how the United States of America fabricated a pretext for invading Iraq back in the day. Back then Americans went to the United Nations Organization and demonstrated a test tube allegedly containing a sample of some hazardous substance.

The situation around Iran developed in a similar manner. Iran is accused of creating or of attempting to create nuclear weapons.

“Kind of a test tube has been found in Iran: the country will have nuclear weapons tomorrow, this is why it is necessary to strike. Let’s think about who gave them the right, the permission to do it? Why a country that has nuclear weapons should bomb a country that may be striving to get them in order to protect itself? What right to bomb does the [former] country have?” the president wondered.

Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed that Donald Trump’s confused and disjointed statements about the matter had been simply ridiculous. “By the way, I sincerely told Americans that,” the head of state said.

According to the president, during a recent meeting with the U.S. president’s envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg the parties discussed in detail the situation in Iran and the overall situation in the Middle East. “I said it is unacceptable for us. I told them how we fought together. People on the younger side were present during the meeting. I told them they may not have studied it at school. But we studied it. We researched it. Older people, as old as Trump were also present. I told them they must remember and know it. They said they remember it,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

The president stated that he is not inclined to trust the West as he analyzes the global situation. He had conveyed his position to the American side, too.

“Trump says one thing while they in Europe do another. And they have started this mess. People, politicians don’t even manage to track it. In my opinion, all of it is a scenario. Yes, Trump feels offended by Europe: they have cheated him, they strongly supported Biden. But Trump won. Yes, he feels resentment. He is a person that cannot live with this resentment although any politician should have forgotten the past and should have started building the present. So, their present is that they have been together and they stay together. They only play different roles in this performance. This is why don’t be complacent and don’t think that something has changed by a lot. Iran has demonstrated it. On the one hand, Trump is a peacemaker: ‘People are dying, I want to end the war in Ukraine!’ And right away he carries out a strike, an absolutely illegal strike on Iran,” the president stated.

In his words, the situation in Ukraine is unfolding in a similar manner: “Once again there is a scenario and a play. Allegedly the peacemaker from across the ocean has moved away, he is even against this war, he wants to stop it, but those fools and idiots in the West want a war. Knock it off. We see everything. Roles have been handed out. The U.S. president was partially correct when he said it is your war in Europe, go ahead and fight it. But it doesn’t mean that they are out of the picture. They are once again in the shadows. They think that in the modern world they will hide across the ocean.”

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
