Israel/Iran: Statement by the spokesperson on Israel’s retaliatory attack against Iran
Israel’s retaliatory attack against Iran, as confirmed by the IDF, occurred amid severe and growing regional tensions.
The dangerous cycle of attacks and retaliations risks causing a further expansion of the regional conflict.
While acknowledging Israel’s right to self-defence, the EU calls on all parties to exercise utmost restraint to avoid an uncontrollable escalation, which is in no one’s interest.
The EU remains fully committed to lowering tensions and contributing to de-escalation and, to this end, remains in close contact with all relevant actors.
