The tension between Iran and Israel is increasing EU concerns. It calls on both actors to peace steps and draws attention to the risk of threat to regional stability.
On Saturday, the European Union expressed “deep concern” over the escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel and called on restraint to avoid dangers such as the leakage of radioactive material. TASR reports on the basis of AFP report.
The EU called on “all parties to comply with international law, were restrained and did not take further steps that could lead to serious consequences, such as potential release of radioactive substances”.
In the report published by Kaji Kallas, the EU foreign policy chief, there is a “deep concern about a dangerous escalation that threatens the destabilization of the Middle East after the Iran and Iranian reaction”. The EU reiterated that it supports security in the region, including security for the Israeli state.
Iran may not have nuclear weapons
Israel claims that its aim is to destroy the Iranian nuclear program, which he believes is aimed at the production of nuclear weapons, which Tehran repeatedly denies. After the first Israeli attack on Friday early morning, Iran responded on the same day by blows to Israeli cities.
“The EU has always clearly said that Iran must never be allowed to get a nuclear weapon,” Brussels said.
The European block is concerned about the recent report of the International Atomic Energy International Agency that Iran “does not follow legally binding nuclear guarantees”. “However, permanent safety is built through diplomacy, not military actions,” the statement said.
