UK, France, Germany Threaten Action to Destroy Iran's Missile Capabilities in New Joint Statement

The leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany issued a joint statement Sunday expressing shock at Iran's missile attacks against regional nations not involved in the initial U.S.-Israel military operation. The European trio demanded Iran immediately halt its strikes, warning that the three countries would take measures to defend their interests and those of regional allies. The E3 statement warned they may enable "necessary and proportionate defensive action" to destroy Iran's capacity to fire missiles and drones at their source. The three nations agreed to coordinate with the United States and regional allies in implementing their response.
