After chairing a summit of EU leaders in Brussels Friday, Tusk said that “sometimes it’s better not to intervene. The biggest problems in our history (were) always provoked by too active politics, not too passive.”
Tusk says the leaders “follow the situation closely and are very concerned about the developments in the Gulf region.”
But he says there was “no reason to prepare a specific European statement on this” at the summit.
The EU is urging restraint on both sides and the bloc’s top diplomat is in regular contact with the two.
The EU is struggling to uphold the Iran nuclear deal, which is at risk of collapse due to U.S. sanctions
The United States and Iran’s tensions over the shootdown of a massive U.S. drone is the latest issue compounding to the threats in the Gulf region.
The shootdown of the U.S. Navy RQ-4A Global Hawk has escalated already heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
EU alternative economic deal meant to ease the US sanctions against Iran has not become practicable or activated which is believed to be hurting Iranian economy badly as the US wants Iran's Nuke renegotiation.
