Finnish leaders responses divided over US–Iran strikes
Finland has urged its nationals in Israel and Iran to consider leaving the countries following a sharp escalation in the Middle East, as President Alexander Stubb called for a firm stance against Tehran acquiring nuclear weapons. On Sunday, Finland’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs advised citizens in Israel to depart amid growing instability after Iran launched missile attacks in retaliation for US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
It is important for Finland's security that Iran does not become a nuclear-weapon state, says Foreign Minister Valtonen.
The US airstrikes against Iran are regrettable, says Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen. She sees a risk that the crisis in the Middle East will also steal focus from the war in Ukraine.
According to Alexander Stubb, it is important for Finland that Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo and Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen have also commented on the situation.
