Greece condemns Iran’s attack on Israel, urges de-escalation

Greece has "strongly condemned" an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel Tuesday and called for an immediate de-escalation in the Middle East.

"The Greek government strongly condemns Iran's attacks against Israel. This is a serious escalation and increases the threat to regional security. Greece stands by the people of Israel and their right to live with security. Greece reaffirms its call for immediate de-escalation," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement late Tuesday.

The Government Council for National Security (KYSEA) will convene Wednesday led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
