Dialogue is needed.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote on her Twitter page that Iran must immediately stop using missile weapons to allow dialogue to begin.

“The use of weapons must stop NOW so that it is possible to resume negotiations. This cannot be enough. We have established time-tested relations with many parties in the region and beyond to de-escalate the situation,” — she wrote on Twitter.

For its part, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell called the missile strikes “another example of escalation and increased confrontation.”

Recall that the day before, the US military base Ain al-Asad, located in western Iraq in Anbar province, as well as a base near Erbil airport in Kurdistan, were hit by missile attacks. Iran openly claimed responsibility.
