🚨 Statement by President von der Leyen on the Middle East

The developments in the Middle East are deeply concerning.

There is a renewed hope for the oppressed people of Iran, and we strongly support their right to determine their own future.

We must work hard to de-escalate and stop the conflict spreading. In the last hours, we have witnessed numerous attacks.

I condemn in the strongest terms these reckless and indiscriminate attacks by Iran and its proxies against sovereign territories across the region.

The only lasting solution is a diplomatic one.
