Iran: Statement by the Spokesperson on the attack in Damascus

03.04.2024 EEAS Press Team

The European Union condemns the attack on an Iranian diplomatic installation in Damascus on 1 April, as well as the reported casualties.

In this highly tense regional situation, it is imperative to show utmost restraint. Further escalation in the region is in no one's interest.

The principle of the inviolability of diplomatic and consular premises and personnel must be respected in all cases and in all circumstances in accordance with international law.
