"Not only the countries of the region will suffer from the conflict between Israel and Iran." Spokesman of the State Department

The US has contacted several partners, including in Europe, China, and Turkey, to urge Tehran to refrain from escalating relations with Israel, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said at a briefing, RIA Novosti reports.

"We continue to worry about the risk of escalation in the Middle East and, in particular, the threats that Iran has made against Israel in recent days. "Not only the countries of the region will suffer from the conflict between Israel and Iran, but also the whole world, including economically," he said.
