Defence Minister Jonson Warns of Serious Middle East Situation

The situation in the Middle East is very serious, notes Defence Minister Pål Jonson (The Moderate Party) in SVT's Agenda.

There is a risk that this conflict can spread further in the region and that it can become an increased destabilization. We urge de-escalation and to return to the negotiating table, he says.

Pål Jonson says that if Iran were to attack American installations, it could lead to a major retaliation.

I fear that if Iran attacks military installations that the US possesses in the Middle East, we will see a powerful escalation of this conflict.
