Iran’s foreign ministry warns European countries not to take any part in the US-Israeli campaign against the Islamic Republic, saying it “would be an act of war.”
“It would be an act of war,” ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei tells reporters. “Any such act against Iran would be regarded as complicity with the aggressors. It would be regarded as an act of war against Iran.”
Germany, France, and the UK said on Sunday that they could take “proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran’s capability to fire missiles and drones at their source.”
