Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) has called on Israel and Iran as extremely reluctance. “The reports that we have reached from the middle of the East since night are very worrying,” said Stocker on Friday in the European Göttweig.
“The situation is very volatile and has a large escalation potential – we call all parties to extreme reluctance and caution.” Another escalation of the conflict is “the last thing this region needs now”, the federal chancellor continued.
“Atomic poor poor should be prevented”
The Iranian nuclear program is the reason for enormous care: “We call for a return to diplomacy. An atomary arms race in the region must be prevented under all circumstances”.
The crisis team in the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is constantly evaluating the situation and is in close contact with messages in the region. The situation center of the Ministry of Defense also observes the situation around the clock.
Spö calls for mediation efforts
The spokeswoman for the foreign policy of the Spö, Petra Bayr, was also deeply concerned about the further escalation of violence in the middle East. “The respect for human life and international law by all parties must be a guideline for all decisions and actions in this critical period. A surface burn in the region and a nuclear poor must be prevented,” Bayr said. Mediation efforts and international cooperation are now needed to contain the conflict. Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger (NEOS) should also set initiatives, she demanded.
