EU foreign policy chief calls for restraint

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has called on all parties to exercise restraint in the aftermath of major Israeli strikes on Iran earlier on Friday.

“The situation in the Middle East is dangerous," Kallas said.

"I urge all parties to exercise restraint and prevent further escalation," she said, adding that "diplomacy remains the best path forward, and I stand ready to support any diplomatic efforts toward de-escalation".
