Greenpeace international statement - 28 February 2026 Greenpeace response to strikes on Iran by the US and Israel Greenpeace International is deeply concerned by the joint military strike on Iran by the US and Israel. “We express deep sympathy for all those affected by the violence, wherever they live, and urge that every effort be made to protect civilians, homes, and critical infrastructure,” says Mads Christensen, Executive Director, Greenpeace International. “Military strikes inflict yet more harm on the people of Iran, who have already endured a brutal crackdown in which thousands of protesters and bystanders have been killed, with many more still feared dead. “Such action will not bring stability or security, it risks deepening suffering, fuelling retaliation, and destabilising an already fragile region.
