Iran launched over a dozen missile attacks on two bases hosting U.S. and allied forces in Iraq, including Estonian Defence Forces (EDF) personnel.

Jüri Luik, who said on Tuesday that EDF activities in Iraq would be halted due to the crisis, which followed the killing of General Qasem Soleimani in Iraq last week, noted that no EDF personnel were on-base at the time of the recent Iranian missile attacks.

"Estonia, as a new member of the UN Security Council, is working with other countries to reduce tensions in the Middle East and prevent further conflict," Jüri Ratas wrote on his social media account ahead of Wednesday's meeting, ERR's online news in Estonian reports.

"It is certainly in Estonia's interest as a small country that the security situation in the world is stable, and relations between states are predictable and based on international law," he added.

The role means Estonia attends all meetings, has voting rights, and chairs two sanctions committees.
