The European Council says it “strongly condemns” Iran’s “indiscriminate” military attacks against countries in the region and expresses its “solidarity with the affected countries.”
In a statement issued on behalf of EU leaders, the Council recalls the need to protect regional airspace and ensure maritime security, and pledges to contribute to de-escalating the situation, reports the BBC, relayed by Insajderi.
The Council also welcomes the increased efforts announced by member states to “guarantee freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, once the conditions are met.”“The EU is ready to fully mobilize its diplomatic, legal, operational, and financial tools to prevent uncontrolled migratory movements toward the EU and to preserve security in Europe,” the statement said.
