Jordanian king tells EU that Israeli attacks on Iran threaten everyone
King Abdullah II condemns Israel’s offensive on Iran in a speech to European Union parliamentarians in Strasbourg, France.
“There is no telling where the boundaries of this battleground will end,” he said. “And that, my friends, is a threat to people everywhere.”
Often interrupted by applause, the king says that “consequences ripple across borders.”
“When our global community fails to bridge the gap between principle and action, when values are not practiced, they become performative, abstract and expendable,” he says. “We are at another defining crossroad in our history, one that demands a choice, power or principle, the rule of law or the rule of force, decline or renewal.”

Regarding Iran’s nuclear sites, Katz says that the underground Fordo facility is “an issue that will certainly be addressed.”
