The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan expresses its serious concern over the Israeli military operation against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has resulted in human casualties and escalation of the situation in the Middle East.

We call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint, immediately cease military actions and move to political and diplomatic methods of settlement.

We consider the risk of further escalation, which could lead to a large-scale confrontation, to be alarming.

Uzbekistan reaffirms its commitment to strengthening regional stability and expresses its readiness to support efforts aimed at de-escalating the conflict.
