Lithuania’s Foreign Minister expressed concern over a possible increase in violence in the region. It would seriously undermine security and stability in Iraq and the region. Consequences could extend beyond the Middle East region.
“Iran has to stop performing provocative actions. The situation must be de-escalated. Lithuania is closely monitoring the situation and we stand ready to work with our partners and allies towards a diplomatic solution – the transatlantic unity remains crucial", said L. Linkevičius.
