"Any further military intervention would dramatically aggravate the situation and it has to be avoided," Borrell told reporters, speaking from Mexico, after an emergency video conference of EU foreign ministers.
Israel warned Iran on Monday that nowhere in the Middle East was beyond its reach and hinted at a land invasion of Lebanon after assassinating the leader of the Tehran-backed Hezbollah group, one of its biggest adversaries, in a Beirut suburb last week.
