Statement on the Attack on Iran – Call for Immediate De-escalation and Halt to Hostilities

Saturday, 28 February 2026 – I am deeply concerned about today’s attack on Iran and the subsequent retaliation. I urgently call on Israel, the United States, Iran, and all nations involved to immediately de-escalate tensions and halt military actions. Armed conflict is not a solution.

I strongly urge all parties to step back from aggression and prioritize peace. Bombings and attacks targeting civilians are completely unacceptable under any circumstances. All nations must come to the negotiating table without delay to resolve differences through dialogue and diplomacy, not war.

The loss of innocent lives must stop immediately. I call on all leaders to commit to peace and prevent further escalation of this conflict.
