Tehran launched more than 300 missiles and drones at Israeli targets, raising fears of a major escalation in the Israel-Hamas war. European leaders condemned the retaliatory attack by Iran on Israel late Saturday amid soaring fears of a major escalation in the Mideast conflict. Tehran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones against targets in Israel, Iranian state media reported, in a move that could spark an escalation in the fighting in the Middle East. Iran had threatened to retaliate against a deadly Israeli strike on its consulate in Syria. The Israeli military said the launches numbered more than 300 but 99 percent of them were intercepted. U.S. President Joe Biden said American forces helped Israel down “nearly all” the drones and missiles and pledged to convene allies to develop a unified response. 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.” Tehran has “demonstrated that it is intent on sowing chaos in its own backyard,” he said. In a separate statement posted on X, Sunak said the U.K. participated in the defense of Israel and that British jets shot down “a number of drones” launched by Iran in its attack. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called the Iranian attack “an unprecedented escalation and a grave threat to regional security.” European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said the assault “risks igniting further chaos across the Middle East.” Stay connected with us!
