Libya condemns airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calls for de-escalation

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of National Unity has expressed deep concern over the airstrikes targeting nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, describing the attack as a 'dangerous escalation' that threatens regional and global security. In an official statement, the Ministry reaffirmed Libya's firm stance against the use of force in international relations outside the framework of international legitimacy. It called for dialogue, restraint, and the avoidance of actions that could further escalate military tensions in the region. The statement stressed the importance of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states, in line with the United Nations Charter and the principles of international law. It also reiterated Libya's full support for all efforts aimed at de-escalation and resolving conflicts through peaceful and diplomatic means. The Foreign Ministry urged the international community to assume its responsibilities in preventing further deterioration of the situation and avoiding a slide into more violence, in order to preserve the security and stability of the region's peoples. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump announced that the US had carried out extensive strikes on Iran's main nuclear sites, warning Tehran of severe consequences if it refuses to embrace peace. Trump confirmed that Iran's uranium enrichment facilities in Tehran had been 'completely destroyed' following a series of American strikes on three key sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In response, Iranian sources reported that most of the highly enriched uranium at Fordow had been moved to an undisclosed location before the US attack, and that the number of personnel at the site had been reduced to a minimum.

Greek FM to visit Libya amid maritime border dispute

Greece's Foreign Minister, Giorgos Gerapetritis, will travel to Libya on 1 July for talks focusing on contested maritime boundaries and rising migration across the Mediterranean, Greek newspaper Kathimerini has reported. A diplomatic source said Gerapetritis will visit both Tripoli and Benghazi and reiterate Athens' call for negotiations on maritime boundaries. The minister is also expected to raise the issue of irregular migration from Libyan shores, which has surged this year. The source said Greece was prepared to provide resources to help Libya combat the flow of migrants and disrupt human trafficking networks. The dispute between Greece and Libya centres on the status of islands including Strofades, Sapienza, Schiza, Gavdos and Chrisi, and their role in drawing maritime borders. Greece maintains these islands must be factored into any agreement. Libya disagrees, arguing that the islands have no effect on the boundaries. Relations between the two nations have been strained recently after Libya's Government of National Unity and its rival administration in the east opposed a Greek call for international oil and gas exploration licences in waters south of Crete.

Libya's parallel government rejects Greece's drilling moves in the Mediterranean

The House of Representatives-designated government has declared its rejection of the actions taken by the Greek government regarding an international call for oil and gas exploration south of the island of Crete. The government, headed by Osama Hammad, affirmed that part of the targeted areas lies within a maritime zone that remains under an unresolved legal dispute with the State of Libya. Hammad's government called on Greece to immediately halt these actions and refrain from taking any unilateral steps, stressing the need for dialogue with Libya to reach fair solutions that safeguard sovereign rights. On Thursday, the Foreign Ministry of the Government of National Unity also expressed deep concern over the Greek authorities' announcement of bids for oil and gas exploration in maritime areas disputed with Libya. The ministry described the move as a blatant violation of Libya's sovereign rights and registered its full rejection and objection to any exploratory activities conducted without prior understanding with the Libyan side. It warned that unilateral approaches only serve to escalate tensions in the region and urged prioritizing dialogue and constructive negotiation as the sole option based on international law.
