E3 Warns Iran Of Proportionate Response To Its Attacks

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) As reported by Ukrinform, this is stated in a joint declaration by the European Three (E3), released by the press service of the German federal government.

“E3 leaders are appalled by the indiscriminate and disproportionate missile attacks launched by Iran against countries in the region, including those not involved in initial US and Israeli military operations. Iran's reckless attacks have targeted our close allies and are threatening our service personnel and civilians across the region,” the statement says.

European leaders called on Iran to immediately halt such attacks and warned of possible retaliatory measures.

“We call on Iran to stop these reckless attacks immediately. We will take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially by enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran's capability to fire missiles and drones at their source,” the statement reads.
