Former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz warned at the 13th Global Baku Forum that Iran and state-backed groups are escalating Middle East threats through cyberattacks, hybrid warfare, and sabotage, urging stronger NATO, EU, and UN action amid growing risks to Europe.
At the 13th Global Baku Forum, former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz warned that modern security threats in the Middle East are increasingly driven by hybrid warfare, cyberattacks, and asymmetric tactics, particularly from Iran, which avoids conventional warfare but targets critical infrastructure.
He highlighted ongoing instability fueled by state-backed groups like Hamas, the psychological toll of violence, and the challenge of responding under current international law.
Kurz stressed the need for stronger NATO and EU cooperation, urged the UN to adapt to new threats, and noted growing risks to Europe through cyberattacks and sabotage, despite limited likelihood of large-scale missile strikes on European capitals.
