In a statement, Meinl-Reisinger affirmed her country’s firm stance against Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, saying that Austria will continue to support diplomacy over escalation, and emphasised the importance of upholding international law. She urged all parties to “immediately cease hostilities and return to the negotiating table.”
