In connection with the current situation in Iran, I am convening a special security college meeting on Monday. This was written on social network X by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

"For regional security and stability, it is crucial that there be no further escalation due to Iran's unjustified attacks on partners in the region," von der Leyen noted.

According to the European Commission president, there is a real "risk of further escalation" as Iran and Israel continue to exchange strikes following the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. "The risk of further escalation is real. That is why a credible transition period in Iran is urgently needed — one that restores stability and paves the way for a long-term solution," she said.

Von der Leyen said she has held talks with the leaders of Germany, Israel, Jordan, and the UAE.
