In a statement, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna emphasized the importance of weakening the Iranian regime in relation to European security, amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East. He noted that Iran's backing of Russia in the Ukraine war poses a threat, thereby necessitating a coordinated response from nations involved, such as Israel and the US. This response includes targeted military actions aimed at Iran’s critical infrastructure, an indication of the crisis's growing complexity.

Tsahkna elaborated on the recent military actions initiated by Israel and the US against Iranian targets, which commenced on February 28. The operations focus on dismantling Iran’s missile and nuclear capabilities, while Iran has retaliated against Israel and US military bases in the region. The Estonian government is closely monitoring these developments, maintaining communication with its embassies and citizens in the Middle East to ensure their safety.

The minister reiterated Estonia's stance on nuclear weapons, asserting that Iran must not possess them due to the potential threat they pose internationally. Concerns remain high regarding Iran's destabilizing activities, which not only threaten regional stability but also international peace. Estonia’s commitment to these issues reflects broader European concerns about security and stability in the face of Iranian influence, as well as the geopolitical ramifications of the ongoing conflict in the area.
