Foreign ministers from 35 countries and the European Union’s High Representative strongly condemned Iran’s violent attacks, including lethal plotting, arson, sabotage, cyber-attacks and other hybrid activities.
The joint statement was issued by Albania, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States, alongside the EU’s High Representative.
The ministers recognised the UK’s attribution of Iran’s involvement in the incident at RAF Fairford on 27 September. The UK concluded that the incident showed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) remained willing to project hostile activity beyond its borders through covert networks and proxy actors.
