Kim Dotcom: премьер Новой Зеландии Лаксон уходит от ответа о поддержке удара США/Израиля по Ирану

Could you clear this up? Do we, as a country, explicitly support the U.S. and Israel taking this action? Well, we acknowledge the actions they've taken by the U.S. and Israel. They were independent actions, but they're designed to prevent Iran from continuing to threaten international peace and security, and that's what it's about. Sure. Do we support this action? Well, again, it's an independent action from the U.S. and Israel. Well, why can't you answer that question? Australia was explicit in saying we support the United States acting to prevent Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security. If, as you say, and many New Zealanders would agree this is an evil regime, do we support the action? Well, Corinne, that's what I've just said. The U.S. and Israeli action has been designed to... But you're not telling us whether New Zealand supports it or not.

New Zealand has, for many, many decades, actually had a strong, long-held position and condemned the Iranian regime for a long period of time. But I don't understand why you're not explicitly saying, one way or the other, whether we support this specific action. We think the Iranian regime is evil. My position isn't that different from the Australian position or the Canadian position. But then why not say it? Well, essentially, we have said it. Is this a breach of international law? Well, that is something that for the Americans and for the Israelis to explain the legal basis for their attacks. And frankly, decades of diplomacy has not borne fruit at all. Have a view as a country as to whether this is a breach of international law. They were in the middle of negotiations. Was there seriously any likelihood of an imminent nuclear strike or strike on the U.S.? Well, Iran has been a destabilising force in the world for a long period of time, right back to 1979. So the strikes were the right thing to do morally? Well, again, it's up to the Americans and the Israelis to explain the legal basis because they will have information that will give them the confidence that they have been acting or compliant with international law. But that is a decision for them to talk to. What do you think as the leader of this country were the strikes the right thing to do morally? Well, the strikes have actually removed a supreme leader. So you think they were morally the right thing to do? Well, again, as I said to you, the Americans and Israelis have launched independent attacks.
