The French foreign ministry says it has summoned the Iranian ambassador to condemn the Iranian attack on Israel.
“He was reminded, with the greatest firmness, of France’s condemnation of the attack,” the ministry says in a statement, adding that France was working with its partners to de-escalate the situation and calling on everyone to exercise restraint.
The Belgian foreign ministry says it had also summoned the Iranian ambassador to condemn the attack on Israel.
