“We have been reminding all our interlocutors for a long time of our warnings that Israel’s war in Gaza carries the risk of spreading and escalating.

Israel’s attack on Iran’s Embassy in Damascus, contrary to international law, has justified our concerns. Iran’s retaliation for this attack and subsequent developments have once again shown that events can quickly turn into a regional war.

“NECESSARY ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ENSURE THE REACTIONS ARE PROPORTIONAL”

Before the incident, we met with Iranian and US authorities and called for moderation. Mutual expectations and messages of the parties were conveyed through our country, and necessary initiatives were taken to ensure that the reactions were proportionate.

Today, we are clearly conveying our messages to Iranian officials and Western countries that have influence on Israel, calling for an end to the escalation.

“WE WILL CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS TO NOT TRIGGER THE PROCESS”

We will continue our efforts to prevent a process that will permanently damage the stability of our region and cause greater conflicts at the global level.

“The developments are closely followed in consultation with our relevant institutions from the first minute, in terms of security threats to our country, and our President is regularly informed.”
