PARIS, March 6 – Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister has issued a stark warning to European Union nations, stating that any country providing military support to U.S. and Israeli operations against Iran will face retaliatory strikes.
Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi delivered the warning during a television interview with France 24, declaring that such nations would become targets for Iranian response.
“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 stated during the interview.
The warning comes as several European nations, including France, Greece, and Italy, have deployed naval vessels toward the Middle East region. Despite these military movements, most EU leadership has publicly condemned Iranian military actions while simultaneously advocating for diplomatic resolution to the ongoing conflict.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced Friday that Berlin is collaborating with international partners to develop strategies for ending hostilities with Iran. However, Merz also affirmed that Germany aligns with the objectives of both the United States and Israel in the region.
