Any European Union member state that joins US and Israeli military operations against Iran will become a legitimate target for Iranian retaliation, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi warned in an interview with France 24.
“Any country that joins in the aggression against Iran, joins America and Israel in the aggression against Iran, definitely, they will be also legitimate targets for Iran retaliation,” Takht-Ravanchi said.
The warning comes as France, Greece and Italy have deployed warships towards the Middle East, though most EU governments have stopped short of joining the offensive, instead calling for an end to the conflict and a diplomatic solution.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Friday that Berlin was working with partners to find a way to end the fighting, while stating that Germany shared the aims of the United States and Israel.
