For us, it is important that this moment is now also used for further de-escalation and that Israel also uses this success to strengthen its position in the whole region and not respond with a massive attack of its own,
It's very important to do everything to isolate Iran,
In the coming days, the United States will impose new sanctions targeting Iran, including its missile and drone program as well as new sanctions against entities supporting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran’s Defense Ministry. We anticipate that our allies and partners will soon be following with their own sanctions,
Today, ministers took a strong stance, asking all actors in the region to move away from the abyss, in order not to fall into it,
We want to see a capital markets union that respects the concerns of member states. We are not in the business of wishing to see any harmonisation to our corporate tax laws,
This idea of the centralisation of supervisory functions to a number of small, large markets is not in the best interests of all member states,
I welcome the language that has been agreed around ceasefire, not pause but ceasefire, I think that is important,
If you believe in a two state solution, it is useful to recognise the existence of both states, and Ireland stands ready to work with like-minded countries in terms of that recognition,
Putin now hopes that he will succeed in his counteroffensive, and the only root of this hope is the shortage of weapons among our soldiers,
They are needed in Ukraine right now, needed to stop (Russian President Vladimir) Putin from relying on terrorist methods,
No state on Earth would suffer this kind of an assault and attack without a response,
Sanctions we know, historically, generally don't work,
I don't think any Western state should have an embassy in Iran,
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard should be put on the EU's terrorist list,
The US would have to promise, to offer — for Netanyahu and his cabinet not to retaliate — they would have to promise something like an ironclad guarantee that there will be always a ready supply of military weapons, so that Americans can no longer use this as a lever to put pressure on the Israeli government,
The EU is ready to take further restrictive measures against Iran, notably in relation to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and missiles,
Here in Ukraine, in our part of Europe, unfortunately, we do not have the level of defence that we all saw in the Middle East a few days ago,
We have to adjust, to expand them (the sanctions) on Iran,
It reflects our current key need - the need for air defence,
If Israel also retaliates to the Iranian attack, the Iranians will retaliate again and this will be a vicious circle of violence,
