Brussels has shifted into crisis mode, with emergency meetings piling up Saturday and Sunday.
As European leaders raced to respond to the rapidly escalating conflict in the Middle East on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, the crisis exposed fault lines inside Europe — and across the Atlantic.

Brussels moved quickly to strike a cautious tone. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned on X that the situation was “perilous,” while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed it was “of the utmost importance” to prevent further escalation. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola also urged restraint.
At the national level, however, Europe’s message was less unified.
I don’t see how that is relevant with supplying Russia with weapons agaist Ukraine. I just wanted to point out that their foreign policy is not really aligned with the EU. But to answer your question, I have personally met Iranians and their descendants who have fled because of the Islamic revolution, so there might be something worth critizising if you examine hard enough.
Iran is sanctioned as an extension of imperialist Western policy -> Iran doesn’t get to trade with the wealthiest markets on Earth -> Iran has to trade with whoever it can -> Iran sells Shahed drones to Russia, pretty simple.
Not what they said.
Ciriticisng the government of Iran is legitimate, but out of all times to do this, this is not the correct one. The focus should be on criticizing the military intervention that our own countries are responsible for.
