Iranian Foreign Ministry official Saeed Khatibzadeh called on Europe to distance itself from the United States and Israel, stating that Europe has been marginalized due to "misleading policies" and is facing the consequences of its "wrong choices." He emphasized that it is difficult to trust European countries unless they stop providing military bases to the U.S. and genuinely uphold international law, and accused Israel of "crimes and repeated violations of international humanitarian law." Khatibzadeh also stated that Iran is fully united and on high alert to counter any U.S.-Israeli attack.
