French Prime Minister Michel Barnier on Tuesday said that he was concerned about an "escalation" in the Middle East, as Iran launched a missile attack on Israel.
"I am speaking now, it is 7.16 pm, at a time when the situation is worsening in the Near and Middle East, with an escalation and an attack, and a direct conflict that seems to be underway between Iran and Israel," Barnier said in parliament, adding that the situation was "extremely serious".
