Britain’s ambassador to the United Nations has urged all parties in the Israel-Iran conflict to protect civilians and said restraint was vital to prevent further escalation, Reuters reports.
“This is a dangerous moment for the entire region, and further escalation is in no one’s interest. Civilians must never be targeted, and we deplore the loss of civilian life,” Ambassador Barbara Woodword told the UN Security Council.
“Restraint is vital to protect further escalation and loss of life … Military action cannot put an end to Iran’s nuclear capabilities,” Woodword said.
