Austria saves 350 from the war zone: returnees in Vienna!

Around 350 people, mostly Austrians, have been able to leave the Austrian authorities since the outbreak of the military discussion between Israel and Iran. This reported oe24 . On Monday, Austrian Airlines from Sharm El Sheikh landed in Vienna-Schwechat landed on Monday. Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger (NEOS) personally received the returnees at the airport.

155 people from Israel were brought to Austria in the plane, including 78 Austrians and their non-Austrian family members. These returnees had traveled to Sharm El Sheikh organized by the embassy in Tel Aviv. During the evacuation, sirens sounded because of a rocket alarm, which forced passengers to cover. The evacuation took place in the substructure of a sports stadium where explosions in the distance were audible.

political backgrounds and evacuation actions

like Meinverzirk , some European countries have evacuated through the tense situation with Iran. A total of around 120 people from Austria have been evacuated since the beginning of the conflicts in the Middle East. At the last return campaign on Sunday, Austrian citizens, their relatives and other EU citizens were flown out. After returning to Sharm El Sheikh, an Austrian Airlines plane was waiting for the evacuated, which was to end up in Vienna on Monday morning.

The military campaigns in the further east also have an impact on the geopolitical situation. In the night of Sunday, the US Army attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natans and Isfahan. President Donald Trump said that the locations were "completely destroyed". However, the effectiveness of these attacks is unclear. Military analyst Berthold Sandtner described the operation as the largest B2 operation of the history of the US air weapon with 14 thrown bombs on various nuclear systems.

economic effects

Developments in the Middle East also influence the global markets. The prices for crude oil rose in the morning, whereby the price for a barrel of the North Sea variety Brent increased by up to six percent to $ 81.40, which marks the highest level since mid-January. According to ZDF , the Brent Prize has increased by almost 13 percent on June 13, during the price for the US variety WTI. The market development depends heavily on the situation in the Middle East, which explains the volatility of oil prices.

The situation remains tense and developments in the region are still being observed closely because they have both humanitarian and economic consequences.
