Belgium has joined other EU countries in summoning Iran’s ambassador to complain about Tehran’s drone and missile attack on Israel and urge restraint, AFP reports.
“The Iranian Ambassador has just been summoned. Belgium strongly condemns Iran’s attack on Israel,” Belgium’s foreign minister Hadja Lahbib wrote on X.
“We call on all parties to exercise the greatest restraint. A regional escalation is to be avoided.”
The move by Belgium, which holds the European Union’s rotating presidency, came after France, Germany and the Czech Republic said they were summoning the Iranian envoys in their respective capitals.
