Brussels has expressed concern over the lack of control in the Middle East and its inability to influence Israel’s decision to attack Iran, according to the Financial Times. With Iran retaliating against Israel and escalating tensions in the region, fears are growing that US and EU officials have little sway over the situation. Despite urging Israel to refrain from targeting Iran’s oil or nuclear facilities, Brussels has not received any assurances from Jerusalem.
Reports have also surfaced that US President Joe Biden is frustrated with his inability to influence Israel’s military actions, resulting in tense phone calls with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Discussions of potential strikes on Iranian military targets are already underway between US and Israeli officials, signaling a precarious situation in the region.
As tensions continue to rise, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned of more destructive strikes if Israel chooses to respond to the recent attacks. The uncertainty surrounding the situation has left many diplomats feeling pessimistic about their ability to control events in the region.
