Israel: Ali Khamenei is dead.
Iran: Ali Khamenei is alive and well.Analyst: Trump wants to claim Khameini is dead so he can declare "mission accomplishjed" and end the attacks to declare victory and thej let Iran continue as usual by replacing Khameini with a new one.
#UPDATE: At UN, when asked if Ali Khamenni has been killed or not, the Israeli ambassador to UN does not answer and gived gibberish on othetr matters.
(EDITED: originally thought it was Iran's ambassador, but it is Israel)

Russia: What is happening threatens escalation in already fragile region, notes one of the parties is not even from the refgion (without naming USA).
Accuses Sec Council president (currently UK) of downplaying the US role.
US and Israel are a betrayal of diplomacy, just yesterday, there were negotiations happening. Russia says it had received signals Israel had no desire to attack Iran, but in reality planned an agression in advance.

Russia; IAEA reports, the only trustable sources of information, never indicated Iran had plans to build nuclear bombs.
(Note: however, Iran going above 7% broke JCPOE, Iran going above 20% to reach 60% broke any possible civilian use, even though 60% is still short of the 90% needed for a bomb). (20% is needed for certain medical radiological isotopes).

United States regime: This is a moment in history that requires moral clarity and President Trump has met the moment.
The most fundamental duty of any sovereign govermment is the protection of its people. Operation "Epic Fury" is directed towards specific and strategic objectives.
-dismantle missile capabilities that threaten allies
-degrade naval assets
-disrupt machinery that arms proxy militias
-ensure iranian regime cannot get a nuclear bomb.(regime change not in core objectives)

Donald J. TrumpKhamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, <...> . He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do.

Also condemns Iran's attacks to neighbouring countries, especially as many were helping initiate diplomatic negotiations.
One Pakistani national in UAE was killed by these attacks.

Latvia at UN: For decades Iran has been a maligned destabilizing actor on the region. It has repeatedly and systematically violated its international obligations.
So far, 100% speech has focused on Iran being a bad boy actor, fostering problems in region (Hamas, Houtis etc)..
Joins call for immediate end oto hostilities. Condemns Iran's attack on neighbours.
Not a single criticism of USA/Israel attack.

UK: Colleges, this is a fragile moment for the middle east.
The United Kingdon played no role in the strikes against Iran. But we are under no illusion about the nature of the Iranian regime.
Followed by condemnation of Iran's actions and behaviour and attacks on middle east countries.
UK is participating in air defence of those middle east countries attacked by Iran.
Puts onus on Iran to stop attacking countries as pre-requisite for diplomacy.

Iran at UN:
Iran as inherent right to self defence. article 51 or UN charter. USA/Iraael have attacked residential areas. Hundreds of civilians killed or injued. Confirmed school bombing with over 100 children killed. It is a war crime.
USA relied in misinformation to justify attack on Iran.
Says both USA and Israel heads of state hacve openly stated regime change as goal. This is illegal under international Law.

Iran (cont)
neither USA nor Isarel actions qualify as "self defense" in the UN charter.All bases of the agressors shall be regarded as legitimate targets as part of Iran's llawful right to self defence.
Iran was pursuing path of diplomacy.
Israel succeeded in dragging the United States into the quagmire of war against Iran. USA seeking to expand scope of conflict by exploiting its bases in the Gulf region.
uses expression "erosion of rule of law by the rule of force" a few times.

Iran (cont) USA dreamed of swallowing Iran and forcing the Islamic Republic into submission.
Apart of battle of military technology, there is a battle of will, and in that battle the Islamic Rpublic of Iran will prevail.
While Iran affirms its will to reach diplomatic solutions, diplomacy cannot happen during agression.
Israel and United States have vio,ated international law, They must be held accountable. Until the agression ends, Iran has the rightto self defence.

Isreal: Ambassador says Iran has been shouting" death to Isarel, death to America" for years. It is not anger of a radical fringe, it is state-sanctioned speech.
Israel is targetting (same list as what USA stated, aka nuclear, missiles, and machinery to fuel terrososm in other countries).
Israel states that Iran has built nuclear weapon (false).
In last hour, Israel says Iranian missile struck civilian area om Tel Aviv. Killed at least one citizen.
Say diplomacy was exchausted.

Leage of Arab Nations: focus on criticising Israel on Palestine, refusal to sign NPT etc. Not affraid to speak "directly" instead of diplomatically.
But after that, does condemns Iran's attamncks on Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon. Blatant violation of territorial integrity of countries not participating in this war.
(though in fairness, many do host USA military bases).
