Minister of Foreign Affairs Urmas Reinsalu discussed the urgent need to ease tensions in the Middle East with Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarifi in New Delhi, India on January 15th.
Reinsalu expressed concern over Iran’s destabilising steps in the region and called for refraining from such actions.
Reinsalu said that as a member of the UN Security Council, Estonia would listen to all parties and help find a solution through various channels, however, he stressed that the United States had the right to protect its citizens and coalition partners.
“I reiterated this point on Saturday in my phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo,” he added.
