EU leader's remarks on world order and Iran war draw criticism

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission President, said the old world order will not return and called for Europe to decisively demonstrate its strength. She also complained about two 'problematic' prime ministers within the bloc.

Her comments, particularly regarding the Iran war, were criticized by officials from France, Spain, and Russia. Russian official Dmitriev harshly criticized her actions, while Spanish officials like Yolanda Díaz and Teresa Ribera said her position exceeded her functions and demanded she defend international law.
