White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt said that US President Donald Trump still wants peace in the Middle East, but believes that achieving this goal may sometimes require the use of force.

Levitt added, during an interview with Fox News, that the president wants peace, but sometimes force must be used to achieve it, commenting on Trump's Middle East policy following the recent US strikes on Iran.

It's worth noting that last night, June 22, the United States launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities in the cities of Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. According to Washington, these attacks were intended to destroy or significantly degrade the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear program.

In international reactions, Brazil strongly condemned the US attacks, considering them a flagrant violation of international law and the standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The North Korean Foreign Ministry condemned the US strike, considering it a violation of Iran's sovereignty, the UN Charter, and international law.

For his part, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy warned the West of a dangerous moment after Iran pledged to respond to the US strike on its nuclear sites.
