With today's strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, the United States has demonstrated its determination to halt Iran's nuclear programme. Both the US and Europe have repeatedly emphasised: Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.
Restricting Iran's nuclear capabilities is a matter of global security. Over the years, we have witnessed close cooperation between Iran and Russia, which affects not only the Middle East but also has implications for European security - particularly in the context of the war in Ukraine.
It is essential that the situation does not escalate into a broader conflict in the region and that the protection of civilians remains a priority for all parties. Resolving the situation calls for a return to negotiations. The international community must work together to ensure long-term security in the region.
