The European Union’s top diplomat said on Tuesday that the United States joining the conflict between Israel and Iran would “drag the region into a broader conflict.”
Kaja Kallas added that during a recent call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he had “emphasized that it’s also not in their interest to be drawn into this conflict.”
Kallas said the foreign ministers of the 27-nation bloc, in a video conference meeting, agreed on a peaceful political resolution of the conflict in Gaza and between Israel and Iran.
“Ministers called on all sides to abide by international law, exercise restraint and avoid actions that could spiral out of control.”
She said that “all agreed the urgent need for de-escalation” and that “Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb and diplomacy is the solution to prevent this.”
