The European Parliament debated&nbsp;recent US-Israel military operation targeting the Iranian regime, examining its geopolitical and humanitarian consequences. The discussion focused&nbsp;on the impact of these actions on regional stability and the situation of the Iranian people, as well as the European Union’s role in addressing the crisis and supporting those affected by the escalating tensions in the Middle East.&nbsp;

Oil markets are unstable due to regional tensions, and diplomatic efforts to include Lebanon in the ceasefire are ongoing. The risk of further escalation remains high
