The government expressed its strong concern, government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis said after the extraordinary meeting of the Governtment Council for National Security (KYSEA) on Sunday, in which the latest developments in the Middle East were assessed.
According to the statement, what is most important is to demonstrate self-restraint and resume discussions in order to avoid further escalation.
The government reiterated that Greece's firmly held position is that Iran should not acquire nuclear weapons and that the solution to this issue must be sought through diplomacy while it reaffirmed that the country's priority remains the security of Greek citizens in the region.
The same announcement emphasised that the government - through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy - has taken the necessary actions to provide the shipping community with recommendations until the situation normalises.
Finally, it was emphasised that the Greek authorities remain vigilant at all levels to address the effects of a complex and uncertain geopolitical situation.
