Following Israel’s retaliatory strikes on military targets in Iran, the U.S. and Britain have called for de-escalation to prevent further violence in the region. Israel targeted military bases and missile sites in response to an earlier missile barrage, leading to casualties on both sides. The United States emphasized that Israel’s actions were in self-defense and focused solely on military targets.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also urged for de-escalation and advised Iran not to respond to Israel’s strikes. Moreover, Saudi Arabia condemned Israel’s actions, warning against an expansion of the conflict in the Middle East. Syria expressed solidarity with Iran, while Iraq accused Israel of exacerbating the situation with global inaction.
Jordan, Pakistan, and Hamas also denounced Israel’s aggression, citing violations of sovereignty and escalating tensions in the region. The international community is being called upon to intervene and halt further military actions to restore stability and peace in the Middle East.
