Singapore has officially condemned the recent air attacks on Israel, launched by Iran as purported retaliation for an attack on its consulate in Damascus on April 1. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Singapore released a statement on April 14, criticizing the escalation of hostilities.
Escalation of Tensions
According to the MFA, these aggressive actions contribute to rising tensions and further destabilize an already volatile region. This condemnation comes in the wake of Iran’s significant military response against Israeli territory on April 13, involving a barrage of explosive drones and missiles.
Concerns Over Regional Stability
The MFA expressed profound concern over the ongoing and increasingly dangerous situation in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing conflict in Gaza which poses a risk of igniting a broader regional conflict.
Call for Restraint
In its statement, the Singaporean MFA urged all involved parties to exercise maximum restraint and to avoid any actions that could lead to an escalation of conflict. The call emphasizes the need for diplomatic engagement and peaceful resolution to prevent further violence.
