EU Decries Iran Attacks on Energy Facilities in Qatar
Brussels, March 19 (QNA) - The European Union has condemned Iranian attacks on energy facilities in Qatar, warning that such actions risk plunging the region into further chaos.
Speaking on the sidelines of a European Council meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said the attacks exacerbate ongoing military conflicts in the region. "We need to exit this war, not escalate it further," she stated.
Kallas noted that she has been in contact with Iranian officials regarding the situation and stressed that the EU is working closely with the United Nations to secure safe maritime corridors, as oil, gas, and fertilizer exports through the Strait of Hormuz have been disrupted due to insecurity.
She also emphasized that Europe is coordinating with partners to seek a resolution between the conflicting parties and bring an end to the ongoing hostilities in the region. (QNA)
