BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 2. The situation in the
Middle East remains volatile, European Commission President Ursula
von der Leyen said in a post on X, Trend reports.
“First, there is renewed hope for the long-suffering people of
Iran. We strongly support their right to determine their own
future. Second, we must do everything possible to de-escalate and
stop the conflict spreading,” she said.
She underscored that regional stability is of the utmost
importance, highlighting that the only lasting resolution is a
diplomatic one.
"This means a credible transition for Iran which includes the
halt to both the nuclear and ballistic programmes, as well as an
end to destabilising action in the region," von der Leyen
added.
She added that the overall situation will be discussed at a
meeting of the Security College, noting that from energy to
nuclear, migration to security, Europe must be prepared for the
fall-out from recent events.
