Switzerland has urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint and immediately return to diplomacy, after the United States joined Israel’s war on Tehran by striking Iranian nuclear sites, AFP reports.
“Switzerland is deeply alarmed by the dangerous escalation between Israel and Iran since June 13, including today’s attacks by the US,” the foreign ministry said on its website.
“Switzerland urges all parties to exercise the maximum restraint, protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, and immediately return to diplomacy.”
“Continued hostilities in the region and clashes between Israel and Iran could rapidly escalate and jeopardise the security of the entire region,” the Swiss ministry said.
