I invite all parties to step back, return to the negotiating table, and prevent further escalation of tensions. EU foreign ministers will address the situation tomorrow," she said.

"WE ARE CLOSELY MONITORING THE SITUATION"

Following US President Donald Trump's announcement of the strike on Iran's three main nuclear facilities, a NATO official also made a statement.
