European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday that Iran's attack on Israel was the latest signal of intent of a "new league of authoritarians", mentioning Russia and North Korea as well.

Speaking at a defence and security conference in Brussels, she added that this league is working to tear up international rules-based order and to stretch democracies to a breaking point.
