Berlin voiced grave concern over rising Middle East tensions, urging all parties to show immediate restraint and back diplomatic efforts to prevent a wider military conflict.
Germany said continued escalation could deepen regional instability and sharply worsen security and humanitarian conditions, prompting close monitoring of developments.
The warning also focused on risks to international navigation and maritime transit corridors, with European officials increasingly worried about disruption to global energy supply chains and trade.
Berlin’s stance reflects a broader European push to contain any spillover into strategic choke points that could undermine economic stability and the global recovery.
