Brussels: The European Union has expressed alarm over the recent military escalation in the Middle East, specifically condemning a series of Iranian attacks on Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The EU has also condemned the attacks on Saudi commercial vessels navigating through the Strait of Hormuz. These actions have been declared a violation of international law.

According to European Union, these developments call for immediate de-escalation and the full implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817. The EU has urged all involved parties to refrain from actions that could further destabilize regional security and undermine ongoing efforts for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

The statement also emphasized the necessity for all parties to ensure the protection of civilians, adhering strictly to international humanitarian law.
