The US has reached out to a number of partners, including ones in Europe, China and Turkiye, to urge Iran to refrain from escalation with Israel, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said at a briefing.
Miller said that US remain concerned about the risk of escalation in the Middle East, and particularly about the threats that Iran has voiced in recent days against Israel.
He also noted that the conflict between Israel and Iran will affect not only the countries of the region, but also the whole world, including in economic terms.
