European Council President Charles Michel said EU leaders “strongly condemn” the attack by Iran on Israel. “Everything must be done to prevent further regional escalation,” he said in a post on X. “More bloodshed must be avoided. We will continue to follow the situation closely with our partners,” Michel added. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen denounced “Iran’s blatant and unjustifiable attack on Israel,” in a statement on X. “I call on Iran and its proxies to immediately cease these attacks.” U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the Iranian strikes “risk inflaming tensions and destabilizing the region.”
