According to Spiegel, both sides in the Iran war are initially seeking de-escalation. The situation remains tense, but an immediate escalation appears to have been averted for now.

Berlin’s Governing Mayor Kai Wegner wants to put the so-called tennis affair behind him. He did not provide details on the incidents or consequences.

Meanwhile, Europe is further shutting itself off from those seeking protection. EU states are tightening their asylum policies, leading to further isolation of the continent.
