    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.

        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.

    ooh are we playing telephone now?

    What a joke. Maybe the US should grow a pair and stop giving israel the weapons and funding to bomb embassies in 3rd countries.
