The US-Israel war on Iran is not just a war against one country, Al Jazeera reports citing the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman.

“It is a war against the entire region and against the security of all countries in the region,” Esmaeil Baqaei tells reporters.

“In these five months, we have seen firsthand that the US military presence in the region and the use of the territory and facilities of the countries on the southern edge of the Persian Gulf have exacerbated insecurity and instability for all countries in the region,” he adds.

“Therefore, it is natural that the countries in the region want to make efforts to prevent this situation from escalating.”
