Brussels warns of risk of regional conflict spreading in the Middle East

(Patria) - The European Union has warned that Israel has retaliated against Iran with an attack and that there is a danger of the regional conflict spreading.

"The dangerous cycle of attacks and retaliation risks causing the regional conflict to spread," stated the European External Action Service in a statement.

In the statement published on the EU's website, it is noted that the European bloc recognizes Israel's right to self-defense, but also that "the EU calls on all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid uncontrolled escalation, which is not in anyone's interest".

"The EU remains fully committed to de-escalating tensions and contributing to de-escalation and remains in close contact with all relevant actors," the European External Action Service emphasized.

Let us recall, the Israeli army launched attacks on "military targets" in Iran last night. As they stated, "these are precise attacks on military targets".

The Israeli army's statement stated that the attacks were "a response to strikes on Israel in recent months".
