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.
