Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has condemned the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities by U.S. and Israeli forces, arguing that they violate international law.
Speaking at a Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) summit in the country’s capital Minsk on June 27, Lukashenko warned that targeting nuclear facilities risks unleashing fallout that could span continents. He drew eerie parallels to the Chernobyl disaster of 1986, noting that the fallout from Ukraine after the incident reached as far as Sweden and the United Kingdom.
According to the Belarusian leader, the attacks violated both the Geneva Conventions and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) safeguards. Minsk, still scarred by Chernobyl’s legacy 39 years later, knows the stakes firsthand.
“The recent strikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities under the control of the IAEA are violating the norms of the international law in the most dangerous way,” Lukashenko warned, noting that “radioactive fallout doesn’t respect borders.”
He also addressed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian directly during the EAEU summit Friday. “Mr. President, I want you to know that you’re not alone in your resistance,” Lukashenko said.
The Belarusian leader’s words came as Moscow accused Washington and Tel Aviv of weaponizing the IAEA for military planning, further destabilizing an already fragile non-proliferation framework. On June 13, Israel struck Iranian nuclear and military sites in its Operation Rising Lion attack.
The attack came a day after the IAEA declared Tehran in breach of its Non-Proliferation Treaty obligations – a claim Iran disputes. By June 22, U.S. forces escalated tensions by bombing three Iranian nuclear facilities, prompting missile retaliation against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. No casualties were reported, and a ceasefire took effect June 24.
Support for Tehran echoed beyond Minsk. Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused the West of dealing “colossal damage” to the IAEA’s credibility by exploiting its inspections for military targets. Iran’s parliament voted to suspend IAEA cooperation until security guarantees are provided, a move signaling deepening fissures in nuclear diplomacy.

In a video message to the summit, Pezeshkian framed the strikes as part of a broader pattern of Israeli aggression, citing civilian casualties and vowing to defend sovereignty. He also concurred with Lukashenko’s condemnation of the attacks, and urged the United Nations to end its tolerance of Tel Aviv’s actions.
The crisis underscores a widening rift between Western powers and Eurasian nations over nuclear accountability. When nuclear facilities become battlegrounds, the fallout – geopolitical and radioactive –knows no borders.
