JAKARTA - Indonesia reminds the obligation of each country to resolve differences peacefully and in accordance with international law, said a spokesman for the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rolliansyah 'Roy' Soemirat, Friday.

This was conveyed by Roy following an Israeli attack on Iran which is claimed to target Tehran's nuclear and military facilities.

"Indonesia firmly condemns Israel's attack on Iran. This action is a violation of the law and weakens the basics of international law," Roy said in his statement, Friday, June 13.

"This attack certainly risks exacerminating tensions in bad areas," said Roy.

As previously reported, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it had carried out air operations against Iran's nuclear program.

Dozens of targets across Iran linked to nuclear programs and other military facilities were attacked by the Israeli Air Force, he said, quoted by The Times of Israel.

The operation codenamed "Raising of Lions."

The IDF said Iran had enough enriched uranium to make several bombs in a few days, and needed to act against this "an imminent threat".

Meanwhile, Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz said he had declared an emergency situation across the country as Israel's attack on Iran began.

Roy said all parties must exercise maximum restraint and avoid actions that could increase tensions or lead to further instability

"Indonesia emphasizes that it is the obligation of each country to resolve differences through peaceful means, in accordance with international law," concluded Roy.
