Iran (IMNA) - According to the statement, the five leaders urged Tehran to refrain from any attacks against Israel, warning that such actions would have "serious consequences for regional security." The statement also emphasized the need for all parties to fulfill their responsibilities and ensure the unconditional delivery and distribution of aid to Gaza.
The joint statement was released as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, with Israel putting its military on high alert and the US sending a guided-missile submarine and an aircraft carrier into the region. The White House has warned of a potential "significant set of attacks" on Israel by Iran or its allied groups.
The statement comes as Iran has pledged to avenge the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which it claims violated the country's sovereignty. Lebanon's Hezbollah has also warned of a harsh response to the Israeli regime in the near future.
The US and its European allies have reiterated their support for Israel's defense against Iran's attacks and resistance groups in the region. They have urged all parties to work towards reducing tensions and reaching a cease-fire agreement in Gaza.
Meanwhile, Britain has issued a separate joint statement with France and Germany, calling for an immediate end to the Gaza war and the release of all prisoners. The statement also emphasized the need for immediate and unrestricted delivery and distribution of aid to Gaza.
The joint statements by the US and its European allies are seen as a show of support for Israel amid heightened tensions in the region.
