The statement from the ministerial council emphasizes that the member states will take all necessary measures to ensure their security and protect their territories, citizens, and foreign individuals on their soil, including the right to retaliate in light of Iranian aggression.
Earlier, the governments of the United Kingdom, Germany, and France expressed their readiness to use military force if Iran continues its attacks on allies in the Middle East region.
On February 28, the United States and Israel began military actions against Iran, to which Iran responded with strikes on Israel and the Gulf countries where American military bases are located.
