The EU regards the Iranian regime as a 'serious threat to world security'
Brussels withdraws non-essential personnel from the Middle East and puts its naval mission in the Red Sea on high alert to escalation in the region.
The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, said on Saturday that the Iranian regime is "a serious threat to world security" following the bombing of Iran by the United States and Israel .
Kallas has said that Tehran's ballistic and nuclear missile programmes, together with its support for armed groups, pose a global risk and has described the latest developments in the Middle East as' dangerous'. In this context, it has announced the withdrawal of non-essential EU diplomatic personnel and stressed that the consular network is working to facilitate the departure of European citizens.
The EU maintains sanctions against Iran and is coordinating with its Arab partners to explore diplomatic avenues.
