The leaders of Germany, France, and Great Britain announce defensive actions against Iran, following its attacks on allies in the Middle East.

The leaders of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, part of the E3 group, declared on Sunday that they are ready to take 'necessary and proportionate defensive actions' in response to Iran's attacks, with the aim of destroying Tehran's military capabilities. They emphasized that the measures will aim to protect their own interests and those of their allies in the region, including preventing the launch of missiles and drones by Iran. Tehran reacted to the American and Israeli offensive, which led to attacks on several neighboring countries, causing the deaths of nine people in Israel. European leaders expressed that they are 'dismayed' by the 'blind and disproportionate' attacks affecting countries not involved in the conflict. Additionally, Washington confirmed the deaths of the first American soldiers in this operation. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran will not limit its right to defend itself, considering American actions as aggression.
