Andorra Reaffirms Peace Stance After US-Israel Strikes on Iran

The Andorran government has reiterated its commitment to peace and stability following coordinated US and Israeli strikes on Iran this Saturday morning, expressing solidarity with civilians suffering the consequences of the escalating Middle East violence.

Foreign Minister Imma Tor issued two messages on X midday Saturday. In the first, she stated that amid the surge in violence, the government stands in solidarity with affected civilian populations. The second urged Andorrans and residents in the Middle East region to exercise extreme caution, follow official advisories, and contact the consular assistance line at +376 324 292 if needed. Officials report no Andorran citizens in Iran but confirm two residing in Israel.

The air and sea attacks targeted Iran's Islamic regime leadership with the goal of toppling the ayatollahs, US President Donald Trump said. He stressed preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and called on Iranians to take power. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video urging Iranians to "free themselves from tyranny and build a free and peaceful Iran."

Initial strikes focused on regime figures, though some outlets report a school bombing that killed 63 people. Iran responded with attacks on US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, plus missiles aimed at Israel and Abu Dhabi.

French President Emmanuel Macron, one of Andorra's co-princes, called the escalation "dangerous for everyone," aligning with United Nations calls to halt the violence.
