Details: Tusk noted that the confrontation between Israel and Iran "is moving towards a regular war in the region that may destabilise the whole world".

"Since WWII we haven’t been so close to a global conflict," Tusk noted.

The head of the Polish government called on Europe and the United States to join forces "to stop further escalation".

Background:

  • As is known, on the night of 12-13 June, Israel struck Iranian targets related to its nuclear programme, explaining that it was seeking to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
  • Eighteen hours after the attack, Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel.
  • European countries, including France, called on Iran and Israel to resolve the conflict through diplomatic means.
  • After the Israeli attack, US President Donald Trump called on Iran to conclude a nuclear agreement "before it is too late".
