The United States and Great Britain strongly condemned the Iranian attack in the Security Council discussion, but both also called for preventing escalation. The Russian representative, on the other hand, attacked Israel: "What happened last night did not happen in a vacuum" The UN Secretary General in an ambiguous statement: "Force must not be used against a member state" Now is the time for de-escalation, says the Russian ambassador.
The United States supports the right of Israel for self-defense, and as President Biden stated, the administration will remain in contact with Israel's leaders on the issue. The US is not interested in escalation. We would like to draw attention to Iran's statement that for it the attacks have ended. We call on the West and Jerusalem to adhere to this policy as well, and to stop irresponsible actions in the entire region. It is essential to act with restraint, it is essential not to lead to an escalation in the Middle East. Citizens are already paying the highest price and we have the greatest responsibility to act.
