Greek officials condemn Iran’s missile attacks on Israel

·

Iran launched approximately 200 missiles targeting Israel, marking a significant escalation following the deaths of key leaders from Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

In Israel, warning sirens blared throughout the country with residents reportedly hearing substantial explosions in major cities, including Jerusalem.

The attack was described by the Greek Foreign Ministry as “a serious escalation and increases the threat to regional security.”

According to Sydney Morning Herald, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gathered his security cabinet for a late-night meeting following the attack, declaring “Iran made a big mistake tonight and it will pay for it.”

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres slammed what he described as “escalation after escalation.”

“This must stop. We absolutely need a ceasefire,” the official announced.
