BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 28. I will convene
an extraordinary Foreign Affairs Council via video link on Sunday
to address Iran and the rapidly unfolding events across the Middle
East, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security
Policy Kaja Kallas wrote in her post on X, Trend reports.
Kallas noted that she has been in contact with partners in the
Gulf countries.
"It is essential that the war does not spread any further. The
Iranian regime has choices to make," she added.
Earlier today, Israel carried out a preventive strike against
Iran (Tehran) to eliminate threats to the state. Later, Israel
closed its airspace and switched to a state of emergency
restrictions. A second wave of Israeli airstrikes on Iran then
began. Shortly afterward, Iran also closed its airspace.
It was later reported that the attack on Iran was a joint
operation by Israel and the United States. In turn, Donald Trump
announced the launch of a military operation by the US Armed Forces
against Iran. Information subsequently emerged about the targets of
Israel’s strikes on Iran. Shortly afterward, Iran launched its
first wave of missiles toward Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu also made
a statement amid the start of the operation against Iran. It was
later reported that a second wave of missiles had been launched
from Iran toward Israel.
Some time later, a state of emergency was declared in Israel. It
was subsequently reported that Iran had attacked 14 US military
bases in the region. Closer to the evening, Iran began a wave of
retaliatory strikes using ballistic missiles.
