On March 2, Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran, Gharibabadi, said in an interview that he advised Europe not to involve itself in this war to avoid more serious consequences.
Gharibabadi emphasized, "If they (European countries) provide facilities and bases, it means they are involved in the aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and our response will be very clear."
Amid the sharp escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Iran issued a severe warning to Europe. This statement is a strong response to previous threats by major European countries to possibly intervene militarily.
This clearly draws a red line for European countries, directly warning them not to get involved in the conflict, as Iran views any form of military support as an act of direct participation in the war.
If Europe provides facilities and bases to participate in the aggression against Iran, it will face a "very clear response" from Tehran.
Analysts believe that the strong stance of Europe (especially E3) is mainly due to pressure from the United States and an attempt to show its presence in the chaos in the Middle East, but the possibility of full-scale military involvement is not high.
The most dangerous trigger at present lies in - Iran warned that if Europe provides a base, it would be considered as participating in the war, while the UK has been disclosed to have agreed to allow the US to use its military bases for "defensive purposes". Whether this "facility support" is considered as "participation in the war" by Iran is the key to whether the conflict will further escalate.
