"The Iranian regime's indiscriminate attacks against its neighbours carry the risk of dragging the region into a broader war and we condemn this. It is essential that the war does not spread any further. The Iranian regime has choices to make," Kallas noted.

As Ukrinform reported, on February 28 the United States and Israel carried out joint strikes on regime facilities in Iran.

Following this, Iran attacked U.S. bases in Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Jordan.
