EU countries joining US, Israel attacks would become Iran’s “legitimate target”

European Union member states that join the U.S. and ​Israel attacks on Iran would ‌become “legitimate targets” for Iran, Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said in an interview ​with TV station France 24.

“Any ​country that joins in the ⁠aggression against Iran, joins America and ​Israel in the aggression against ​Iran, definitely, they will be also legitimate targets for Iran retaliation,” Takht-Ravanchi said.

While some ​EU countries such as France, Greece and Italy have ​sent warships towards the Middle East and most ‌EU ⁠top officials have condemned Iranian strikes in the region, they have mostly called for an end to ​the ​conflict and called ⁠for a diplomatic solution.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on ​Friday Berlin was working with ​partners ⁠to find an approach to end the fighting with Iran, while saying ⁠his ​country shared the ​aims of the United States and Israel.
