Nepal—a nation steeped in spirituality, peace, and the pursuit of harmony—has issued a powerful voice of condemnation following the U.S. nuclear missile attack on Iran. From the temples of Kathmandu to the remote villages of the Himalayas, the Nepalese people have united in grief and outrage.

“What has happened in Iran is not a political disagreement. It is an atrocity.
A nuclear attack is a violation of every sacred law—human, natural, and divine,”
stated the Nepal Peace and Justice Council in an emergency address.

1. Shared Values: Nonviolence, Sovereignty, and the Right to Exist

Nepal, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, has long stood as a beacon of nonviolence, neutrality, and peace. Its foreign policy, rooted in coexistence and mutual respect, positions Nepal firmly against all forms of militarized aggression—especially the use of nuclear weapons.

In this light, the bombing of Iran has been received as a heinous act of violence—not just against one country, but against humanity itself.

2. Nepal and Iran: Ancient Civilizational Respect

Though not widely publicized, Nepal and Iran share a history of cultural and spiritual appreciation. Iranian scholars and poets are studied in Nepali academic circles, and diplomatic relations between the two nations have remained cordial through the Non-Aligned Movement.

Both countries have historically advocated for sovereignty, cultural preservation, and self-determination—values now under attack in Iran.

3. Faith Leaders, Monks, and Students Speak Out

Buddhist monks in Lumbini and Swayambhunath held silent peace meditations for the victims of the bombing, with banners reading:
“No Dharma Allows Nuclear War.”

Hindu temples across Pashupatinath offered ritual prayers, while university students in Tribhuvan University launched a peaceful march carrying placards like:

• “Nuclear Crimes Have No Excuse”

• “Iran’s Pain Is the World’s Shame”

The hashtags #NepalWithIran and #NoNukesEver surged across South Asian social media circles.

4. Government of Nepal Issues a Rare Statement

Known for its neutral diplomacy, Nepal’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a strongly worded note:

• Condemning the U.S. nuclear strike on Iran as “a flagrant breach of international peace”

• Calling for an urgent meeting of the UN General Assembly

• Reaffirming Nepal’s support for the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)

The statement emphasized Nepal’s unwavering belief that no military justification can ever warrant nuclear warfare.

Conclusion

From the serene mountains of Nepal comes a loud, unwavering message:

“We reject this world where power is measured by warheads.
We reject silence that allows injustice to thrive.
Nepal stands with Iran—not in anger, but in dharma.
Because no mountain is too high to hear the cry of the oppressed.”
