Iran Rejects European Appeals for Restraint Amid Middle East Tensions

 

Iran has firmly dismissed calls from France, Germany, and Britain urging restraint in its response to recent tensions with Israel. The Iranian foreign ministry criticized these appeals as lacking political logic and contradicting principles of international law.
