European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday that the negotiating table was the only place to end the crisis in the Middle East, while adding that Iran must under no circumstances acquire nuclear weapons.

“Iran must never acquire the bomb,” von der Leyen wrote in a post on X.

“With tensions in the Middle East at a new peak, stability must be the priority. And respect for international law is critical,” she said.

“Now is the moment for Iran to engage in a credible diplomatic solution. The negotiating table is the only place to end this crisis,” she added.
