    Here’s what was actually “asked”:

    “We have also engaged with European allies and partners over the past few days and urged them as well to send a clear message to Iran: that escalation is not in Iran’s interest, it’s not in the region’s interest and it’s not in the world’s interest,”

      Hopefully the US will take significant actions against Israel, since escalation isn’t in the region’s or the world’s interest. Punishing Israel would be a great way to show the US’s desire for de-escalation. For some reason, I think the US will just keep giving them weapons.

            I don’t condone everything the IDF has done. But they were attacked first and now they are retaliating and that is how escalation works. And it will continue until someone tries to de-escalate.

            I’m glad the US is making an effort to be diplomatic.

              We are being diplomatic by allowing Israel to do whatever they want and then protecting them from the consequences of their own actions?

              If you actually believed what you said you wouldn’t allow Israel to keep escalating and trying to drag us into it.

              they were attacked first

              “Nazi Germany was attacked first in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising”

              the US is making an effort to be diplomatic.

              “Diplomacy” is when you’re actively funding and supporting a genocide and defending your proxy’s escalations

          You have a shitty memory. Israelis themselves make the argument that Netenyahu started this by weakening the Gaza border before Oct 7th to reinforce troops in the West Bank. Do Palestinians in the West Bank have the right to defend themselves?

          And bombing a diplomatic building is a war crime, which Israel did when they targeted the Iranian consulate.

            So you are saying if Netanyahu weakens the Gaza border then the terrorist attack on Oct 7th on innocent people is justified?

              Netenyahu allowed the deaths of over a thousand Israelis because he weakened the border. In ancient times, if any leader had a collosal fuck like this, they would be killed for treason.

              Now idiots like yourself concern troll online so you can keep this fantasy that Netenyahu protects his own people.

        The Houthis also attacked a Chinese oil tanker in the Red Sea.

        Like the US said in the article. Iran’s escalations are not in anyone’s best interest.

        But if you think the US is both so strong they are a bully and so weak that they are begging at the same time then you are totally not pushing a narrative.

          Lmao, US just begged Houthis to stop. And yes, they were and still are bullying entire world for decades, and they still try to, but now it’s literally crybullying because the times change and now they are being opposed with success. This is not to say they still don’t have a lot for them to go.

      Asking countries not to retaliate against the US proxy’s escalations — and a bombing of a foreign embassy at that.

        Iran has been indirectly responsible for terrorist attacks on innocent cargo ships.

        The US is just trying to get other countries that communicate with Iran to relay the message that their escalations are not in anyone’s best interest.

          “Terrorism” is when you’re blocking supplies to a genocide lmao

          Ansarallah’s leader, Abdel Malik al-Houthi’s position has consistently been that the blockade will stop when the US support for israel’s genocide of Gaza stops.

          their escalations are not in anyone’s best interest

          Yet the US proxy is escalating by bombing an embassy. They would be talking to israel instead of Iran if they actually cared lol.

    "Nobody can have any interest in regional escalation [except Israel],” the German ministry said. “All players in the region [except Israel] are called upon to act responsibly and exercise restraint.”

    Did we mention Israel is exempt from international law? That’s called supremacy.
