Belgium’s Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot has stated that the recent joint US and Israeli military strikes on Iran do not meet the standards of international law, emphasizing Belgium’s longstanding commitment to upholding these norms. In interviews with Belgian broadcaster RTBF, Prévot acknowledged that the operation violated established legal principles, describing it as a breach while noting it appeared driven by concerns over global security, particularly Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. He stopped short of an outright condemnation in some contexts but stressed that military force should remain a last resort after diplomacy fails, calling for de-escalation, respect for international law, and an urgent return to negotiations to prevent further regional instability. This position highlights a rare European divergence from full alignment with the US-Israel actions amid the escalating conflict.
