NZ government statement on Iran

NZ government statement on Iran

Joint statement of PM Christopher Luxon and Hon. Winston Peters.

New Zealand has consistently condemned Iran’s nuclear programme, its destabilising activities in the region and elsewhere, and its repression of its own people.

Iran has, for decades, defied the will and expectations of the international community. The legitimacy of a government rests on the support of its people. The Iranian regime has long since lost that support.

In this context, we acknowledge that the actions taken overnight by the US and Israel were designed to prevent Iran from continuing to threaten international peace and security.

We condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s indiscriminate retaliatory attacks on Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. We cannot risk further regional escalation, and civilian life must be protected.

We join the international community in hoping this crisis ends as quickly as possible.

We call for a resumption of negotiations and adherence to international law – and we urge the Iranian leadership to seek a negotiated solution that returns Iran to the community of nations.

Our thoughts go out to all those affected by the conflict, and to the New Zealand families who are understandably worried about their loved ones in the region.

We recognise too the courage of the Iranian people who have taken to the streets in recent weeks to demand change, only to be met by violence and murder. The Iranian people must be allowed to determine their future.

New Zealand Embassies in the region are closely monitoring the situation and will continue to provide support to New Zealanders. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade advises New Zealanders in the region to shelter in place. New Zealanders should follow the advice of local authorities and register on SafeTravel.

New Zealanders requiring urgent consular assistance should call the New Zealand 24/7 Consular Emergency Line on +64 99 20 20 20.

  1. We all know Luxon is a massive tool, but this statement proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Winston is also taking it up the **** from the international usury cartel and is a fake anti globalist

  2. I know! I know! Lets bring in a new extra tax on all NZworking families (not for the big-corporate “elites” of course.. ) called the netanyahu trump jew fund so we can send more money to that brave overseas war-pig machine. About 17% should do it.

  3. Well i have to admit that I am shocked reading that government statement. The terrorist and nuclear armed countries of Israel and the United States carry out yet another unprovoked bombing and missile attack on Iran yet somehow the extremely screwed up politicians running this country feel the urge to condemn Iran. Shameful.

  4. Both of these clowns have got no political capital left so they just tow the globalist line having served their puppet masters well for the last 3 years

  5. This is both embarrassing and shameful….nice to know who NOT to vote for this election, so thanks for that at least!

    Here’s my response as a REAL Kiwi. Israel and the US’s indiscriminate war of aggression against a nation they were in negotiations with is deplorable, inhumane and against all norms of international law.

  6. Say what you will about them but BRAVO NZ Greens!!! As for you Peters and Luxon look forward to voting you out!

    “Trump and Netanyahu’s unilateral attack on Iran must be condemned as an illegal and unprovoked act against the people of the region and any genuine pathway to peace” Green Party Co-Leader Marama Davidson says.

    “This latest escalation in aggression is part of a decades’ long pattern of behaviour of the US dragging the region into more wars, violence, and bloodshed.

  7. The only time NZ has seen these two, make a statement together, and it’s about Iran. What a joke our leaders are. No joint or individual statement about the murders of children in our own country, or of the rapists they import and dont send back. Just this w*nkery! Like we are going to say yes we will vote for you. Yeah nah!

  8. FAFO Iran. The country that chants ‘Death to Israel! Death to America!’ even within their parliment sessions. What did you think is going to happen sooner or later?

    • Death to America! What’s wrong with you that you side with these child murdering pedophiles? Death to America! Death to the Great Satan!

  9. Shameful. USA/Israel murders 100 primary school girls and injures 98 others, and New Zealand’s response is to condemn Iran for retaliating by striking US military bases.
    We are not the good guys.

    • I AM good for I DO NOT CONSENT to this government that has hijacked deliberately the Will of The People!
      Just because it’s 3 years to the next election does NOT give them the right to abuse that mandate!
      We need instant referenda!
      Stop this runaway tyranny!

  10. Sooner or later? Try always and forever.. Evil psycho brainwashed religious muslim maniacs vs evil psycho brainwashed religious bible-thumping hypocrite weasels. BOTH SIDES ARE SCUMBAG SH*T-HEADS.
    Wake TF up fools!!

    • No so sunshine. Iran has endured coups, wars and more thanks to the USA. The US are the bad guys here. Iran’s only crime is not doing as its told unlike the lap dogs governing New Zealand.

  11. “Trump and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran must be condemned as an illegal and unprovoked act of war. And as for our woke Government and politicians just goes to show how dumb or more to the point how comprimized they are. I will only vote for the party that will alaign with the BRICS nations and try to get membership with BRICS, So the short answer is I will not be voting!!!!

  12. The professional forecast is this (from well-seasoned military and CIA Veterans); the U.S. and Israel will run out of ammunition in 8 weeks, and Iran has at least 2 years worth of ammo / ballistic missiles all underground in hardened shelters where ‘Bunker-Busters’ and ground-penetrating nukes cannot reach!

    Iran has made reference to the U.S. and the Zionist influences in the West as ‘The Great Satan’…

    The J3w$ are seeking to impose Noahide Law globally, and here is what Noahide Law is…
    https://paulcraigroberts.org/the-noahide-laws/
    It always starts ‘local’ but then spreads globally! When Floridians are arrested, others will be next on an international scale.

    The J3w$ have taken over Florida, and that is now out in the open! But, after all, the murderous genocidal Zionist J3w$ have to go somewhere warm after Israel collapses…and DeSantis, Rubio & Fine welcome them and their campaign donations.

    Here in New Zealand, we will need to pay particular attention to bills in the Parliament that might have Noahide Law, Hate Speech and Australian copy-cat laws added in to proposed bills or fast-track amendments to current laws!
    Many I know who don’t usually discuss politics are now openly saying that they will vote for a minor third party, with most mentioning the New Zealand Loyal Party in order to keep these accusatory bills and laws off the registers and dockets!
    Also-a few examples of Zionist J3wi$h false flag events;

  13. We’re still waiting for a condemnation of America’s “illegal and unprovoked” attack on Iran with the announcement of sanctions on America and a $180 million donation “for humanitarian purposes” to Iran. But what’s apt for the goose isn’t apt for the gander.

  14. Maybe they have been blackmailed with the Epstein files…. Why else would the nz govt get involved with wars that don’t have anything to do with mz and donnot have legitimate reasoning. Makes you wonder. Trump has nz govt by their cowardly balls
