Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said his country is lobbying major powers against an escalation that would have far-reaching consequences for regional stability and security, Al Jazeera reports.
“The risks are enormous. That could drag the whole region into war, which would be devastating … and will have very, very serious implications for the rest of the world – including the US,” Safadi said.
“The situation is too dangerous. The chances of regional explosion are real, and that has got to stop. We’ve got to make sure there’s no further escalation.”
