Colombian President Gustavo Petro publicly condemned U.S. President Donald Trump for his recent military actions against Iran, labeling them a strategic error. In a statement on social media, Petro emphasized that global peace should be the priority for humanity, urging a united front against the proliferation of nuclear weapons. He expressed his belief that Trump's actions would not contribute to stability and peace in the region.

Petro's remarks followed Trump's announcement of initiating significant combat operations in Iran, aimed at dismantling the Iranian government and encouraging the Iranian populace to rise against it. These developments have escalated tensions in an already volatile region and raised questions about the potential humanitarian and geopolitical implications of such military interventions.

In response, Petro called for a meeting of the United Nations, asserting that the international body must take immediate action to prevent further escalation of conflict. His comments reflect broader concerns among Latin American leaders regarding U.S. foreign policy in the region, particularly in relation to military interventions and support for civil unrest in other nations.
