Iran has said the war of the United States and Israel is not just against one country, but the entire region. Speaking to reporters on Monday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said the war extends beyond Iran, arguing that it endangers the security and stability of all countries across the region. Baqaei further claimed that over the past five months, the US military presence in the Middle East, along with the use of military bases and facilities in Gulf states, has contributed to rising instability and heightened security risks throughout the region. He added that regional countries have a shared interest in preventing the conflict from intensifying further and are therefore seeking ways to avoid a wider escalation.
