Recent U.S. military strikes targeting three nuclear facilities in Iran have drawn sharp criticism from international law experts, with China Institute of Contemporary Relations research professor Guo Xiaobian calling the actions "a clear violation of established global norms." Speaking to CGTN, Guo emphasized that such operations undermine nuclear safety protocols, despite the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reporting no detected radiation leaks as of Sunday.
"The priority must be sustained radiation monitoring and transparency," Guo stated, highlighting concerns over potential long-term environmental and health risks. His remarks come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with analysts warning the strikes could destabilize regional security frameworks critical to global energy markets.
While the IAEA maintains its stance on current safety conditions, the incident raises broader questions about the legality of unilateral military interventions at sensitive nuclear sites. Business leaders and policymakers worldwide are closely monitoring how this development might impact Iran’s economic engagements and cross-border investment flows.
