The emphasis of the European authorities on the need to prevent the escalation of tensions after the Isfahan incident

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told a news conference: “It is absolutely essential that the region remains stable and that all parties refrain from further action.”

British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak also claimed that the Israeli regime has the right to defend itself in the continuation of the space constructions against Iran’s legitimate military action against the aggression of the Zionist regime. At the same time, he stated: the dramatic escalation of tensions is not in anyone’s interest.

Before him, British Work and Pensions Minister Mel Stride said in an interview with Sky News: We don’t want to see an escalation of tension. The West Asia is a sensitive region and there are many tensions and scenarios that are not desirable. Avoiding these scenarios is a key principle. He added: Our clear message to Israel and Iran is to avoid escalating tensions

Also, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of France stated: France’s position is to ask all actors to reduce tension and exercise restraint.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy has also called for the reduction of tension in the region.

At around 4 am today, the air defense of the 8th Shikari base of Isfahan was used for interception and the sound of the defense was heard from the northeast of Isfahan.

Amir Major General Seyyed Abdulrahim Mousavi, the commander in chief of the army, in a conversation about the sound of the explosion in Isfahan, said: The explosion in the sky of Isfahan this morning was related to the shooting of anti-aircraft defense systems at a suspicious object that did not cause any accident or damage.

He added: The relevant experts are investigating the dimensions of the issue and will inform them after receiving the results.
